Answer:

Dimensions: A=a\cdot b=256

Perimiter: P=2a+2b

Minimum perimeter: [16,16]

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of optimization with constraints.

We can define the rectangle with two sides of size "a" and two sides of size "b".

The area of the rectangle can be defined then as:

A=a\cdot b=256

This is the constraint.

To simplify and as we have only one constraint and two variables, we can express a in function of b as:

b=\frac{256}{a}

The function we want to optimize is the diameter.

We can express the diameter as:

P=2a+2b=2a+2*\frac{256}{a}

To optimize we can derive the function and equal to zero.

dP/da=2+2\cdot (-1)\cdot\frac{256}{a^2}=0\\\\\frac{512}{a^2}=2\\\\a=\sqrt{512/2}= \sqrt {256} =16\\\\b=256/a=256/16=16

The minimum perimiter happens when both sides are of size 16 (a square).

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The distance around a circle on the other hand is called the circumference (c).

Step-by-step explanation:

A straight line that passes from one side of a circle to the other through the center is called the diameter. The distance around the outside of a circle is called the circumference. All points on the edge of a circle are the same distance to the center.
