Question

A wire of length 7 is cut into two pieces which are then bent into the shape of a circle of radius r and a square of side s.

a) Then the total area enclosed by the circle and square is the following function of s and r

b) If we solve for s in terms of r, we can reexpress this area as the following function of r alone:


c) Thus we find that to obtain maximal area we should let r=
d) To obtain minimal area we should let r=
