Answer:

Dimensions: 1.68 ft × 3.36 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the radius

Arc length = 3.14x

Width = 2x

Height = [12 - (2x) - 3.14x]/2

= 6 - 2.57x

Area = 3.14x²/2 + 2x(6 - 2.57x)

Area = 12x - 3.57x²

dA/dx = 12 - 7.14x = 0

x = 1.6806722689

Width = 2x

= 3.361344538

Height = 6 - 2.57x

= 1.6806722689

Answer:

Side lengths = 1.68 ft and width = 3.36 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the side lengths of the window be L and the width = 2r ( r is also the radius of the semi-circle).

So we have

Perimeter = 2L + 2r + πr = 12

Area = 2rL + 0.5πr^2

From the first equation

2L = 12 - 2r - πr

Substitute for 2L in the equation for the area:

A = r(12 - 2r -  πr) + 0.5πr^2

A = 12r - 2r^2 -  πr^2 + 0.5πr^2

A =  12r - 2r^2 - 0.5πr^2

We need to find  r for the maximum area:

Finding the derivative and equating to zero:

A' = 12 - 4r -  πr = 0=

4r + πr = 12

r = 12 / ( 4 +  π)

r = 1.68 ft.

So the  width of the window = 2 * 1.68 = 3.36 ft.

Now  2L = 12 - 2r - πr

=  12 - 2*1.68 - 1.68π

= 3.36

L = 1.68.
