Answer:

Explanation:

Total length of the wire is 29 m.

Let the length of one piece is d and of another piece is 29 - d.

Let d is used to make a square.

And 29 - d is used to make an equilateral triangle.

(a)

Area of square = d²

Area of equilateral triangle = √3(29 - d)²/4

Total area,

A = d^{2}+\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\left ( 29-d \right )^{2}

Differentiate both sides with respect to d.

\frac{dA}{dt}=2d- \frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times 2(29-d)

For maxima and minima, dA/dt = 0

d = 8.76 m

Differentiate again we get the

\frac{d^{2}A}{dt^{2}}= + ve

(a) So, the area is maximum when the side of square is 29 m

(b) so, the area is minimum when the side of square is 8.76 m
