Answer:

a.x=39.2

b.Use whole  wire as a circle

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Length of piece of wire=70  units

Let length of wire used to make a square =x units

Length of wire used in circle=70- x

Side of square=\frac{perimeter\;of\;square}{4}=\frac{x}{4}

Circumference of circle=2\pi r

70-x=2\pi r

r=\frac{70-x}{2\pi}

Combined area of circle and square,A=(\frac{x}{4})^2+\pi(\frac{70-x}{2\pi})^2

Using the formula

Area of circle=\pi r^2

Area of square=(side)^2

a.A=\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{4900+x^2-140x}{4\pi}

Differentiate w.r.t x

\frac{dA}{dx}=\frac{x}{8}+\frac{2x-140}{4\pi}

\frac{dA}{dx}=0

\frac{x}{8}+\frac{2x-140}{4\pi}=0

\frac{\pi x+4x-280}{4\pi}=0

\pi x+4x-280=0

x(\pi+4)=280

x=\frac{280}{\pi+4}

x=39.2

Again differentiate w.r.t x

\frac{d^2A}{dx^2}=\frac{1}{8}+\frac{1}{2\pi}>0

Hence, the combined area of circle and the square is minimum at x=39.2

b.When the wire is not cut and whole wire used  as a circle . Then, combined area is maximum.

Simplify the expression 4|-4|
Naddik [55]

An absolute value means something distance from 0, so |8| = 8 because the distance of 8 from 0 is 8. However the |-8| still equals 8 because the distance from -8 to 0 is 8

So with that in mind, we know that |-4| is 4 because the distance -4 is from 0 is 4

So we have 4*4 = 16
