Answer:

Length = 50m

Width = 31.84m

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a track = 200m

The perimeter of a track with two semi-circular end and two rectangular regions = P

Perimeter of a semi-circle = ½(2πr)

Length of a rectangle = x

Perimeter of the rectangle = x+x

P = ½(2πr) + ½(2πr)+x + x

P = 2πr + 2x

200 =2πr + 2x

2πr = 200 – 2x

2πr = 2(100 – x)

r = 2(100 – x) / 2π

r = (100-x)/π

total area of the rectangular region =A

A= x(2r)

= (x)2[(100-x)/π]

= 2x[(100-x)/π]

A = (200x – 2x^2)/π

Differentiate A with respect to x

dA/dx = (200 -4x)/π

at critical point, first derivative vanishes(dA/dx = 0)

(200 -4x)/π = 0

-4x =-200

x =-200/-4

x = 50

this means length (x) = 50m

put x=50 into r = (100-x)/π

r= (100-50)/π

r =50/π

width = 2r

width = 2(50/π)

= 2(19.62)

= 31.84m
