A rich couple decided to build a house. They wanted the windows to allow the maximum amount of light to pass. The architect suggested to have windows in the shape of a 4-sided polygon with a half-circle on top of the polygon. What will be the ratio of the width of the polygon to the total height of the window so it can admit the most light?
