Answer:

Width =√10 and Height = \frac{10}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the coordinates of the vertices of the rectangle which lie on the given parabola y = 5 - x² ........ (1) are (h,k) and (-h,k).

Hence, the area of the rectangle will be (h + h) × k

Therefore, A = h²k ..... (2).

Now, from equation (1) we can write k = 5 - h² ....... (3)

So, from equation (2), we can write A =h^{2} [5-h^{2} ]=5h^{2} -h^{4}

For, A to be greatest , \frac{dA}{dh} =0 = 10h-4h^{3}

⇒ h[10-4h^{2} ]=0

⇒ h^{2} =\frac{10}{4} {Since, h≠ 0}

⇒ h = ±\frac{\sqrt{10} }{2}

Therefore, from equation (3), k = 5 - h²

⇒k=5-\frac{10}{4} =\frac{10}{4}

Hence, Width = 2h =√10 and Height = k =\frac{10}{4}. (Answer)

Here is your answer

\bold{x=12}

REASON:

Concept used: The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

So, in above given figure

3x+7=5x-17 (measures of opposite sides)

5x-3x= 17+7

2x= 24

x= 24/2

x= 12
