The Lagrangian is

with critical points where the partial derivatives vanish.



Substitute
into the last equation and solve for
:

Then we get two critical points,

We get an absolute maximum of
at the second point, and an absolute minimum of
at the first point.
A=length x height. First we want to know the area of the original sheet of paper. 8.5 x 11= 93.5 inches squared. Then we take two squares with side length 2 inches. The area of each of these squares is 2 x 2, or 4 inches. Since there are two, the total area we take away is 8 inches. We subtract 8 inches from 93.5 since we took it away, and the final area of the paper is 85.5 inches^{2}
Hope this helped!
You would use the Pythagorem Theory which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2
the diagonal being c and it doesn't matter how you substitute tho other either a or b. the answer is 15.588 or 15.6 inches
Answer:
it would be 6
