The Shatzkins are adding a sunroom to their house. They want the sunroom to have area 14.00 m². One wall of the sunroom will be part of their house. a) One design is for a rectangular sunroom. Determine the minimum possible perimeter of this room, not including the wall attached to the house. b) Another design is for a sunroom in the shape of a semicirele with the straight edge attached to the house. Detemine the perimeter of this room, not including the wall attached to the house. c) If the Shatzkins want to minimize the perimeter of the sunroom, not including the wall attached to the house, which design should they choose?
