Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
so basically you have to look for the opposite side of what they give you. then just plot it in
Just so you know, there's no diagram
The dimension that would give the maximum area is 20.8569
<h3>How to solve for the maximum area</h3>
Let the shorter side be = x
Perimeter of the semi-circle is πx
Twice the Length of the longer side
![[70-(\pi )x -x]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B70-%28%5Cpi%20%29x%20-x%5D)
Length = ![[70-(1+\pi )x]/2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B70-%281%2B%5Cpi%20%29x%5D%2F2)
Total area =
area of rectangle + area of the semi-circle.
Total area =
![x[[70-(1+\pi )x]/2] + [(\pi )(x/2)^2]/2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5B%5B70-%281%2B%5Cpi%20%29x%5D%2F2%5D%20%2B%20%5B%28%5Cpi%20%29%28x%2F2%29%5E2%5D%2F2)
When we square it we would have
![70x +[(\pi /4)-(1+\pi)]x^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=70x%20%2B%5B%28%5Cpi%20%2F4%29-%281%2B%5Cpi%29%5Dx%5E2)
This gives
![70x - [3.3562]x^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=70x%20-%20%5B3.3562%5Dx%5E2)
From here we divide by 2

The maximum side would be at

This gives us 20.8569
