g consider a wire 2 ft long cut into two pieces. one piece forms a circle with radius r and the other forms a square with side length x. (a) determine a formula for the radius r in terms of x .



Answer :

The radius in terms of x is 2/(π+4)

What is area?

Area, a quantity that describes the extent of an area on a plane or curved surface. The area of ​​a planar region refers to the area of ​​a shape or planar layer, while surface area refers to the area of ​​an open surface or boundary of a three-dimensional object.

Given that,

y forms a circle of radius r

y = 2πr

r = y/2π

(2-y) forms Square Side x

(2-y) = 4x

x = (2-y)/4

Now Sum of Areas = Area of Square + Area of Circle

Sum = πr² + x²

Substitute the  values of r and x in above equation:

A(y) = y²/4π + (y-2)²/ 16

To maximize Area A(y)

A'(y) = 0

2y/4π + 2(y-2)/16 = 0

y/2π + (y-2)/8 =0

y = 2π/(π+4)

For maximum sum of areas,

x = 2/π + 4

Hence, The formula for the radius r in terms of x and for the maximum areas is x=2/(π+4)
