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
Length =
Total area =
area of rectangle + area of the semi-circle.
Total area =
When we square it we would have
This gives
From here we divide by 2
The maximum side would be at
This gives us 20.8569
