Explanation Formula used: Pythagorean Theorem: The sum of the square of the legs of a right angled triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse. Calculation: Step 1: Strength ( S ) is directly proportional to the product of width ( w ) and the square of depth ( d ). Hence, S ∝ w d 2 Let, k be the proportionality constant. Then, S = k w d 2 Step 2: Using Pythagorean theorem and simplify, ( Hypotenuse ) 2 = ( Perpendicular ) 2 + ( base ) 2 12 2 = d 2 + w 2 144 = d 2 + w 2 d 2 = 144 − w 2 Substitute, d 2 = 12 2 − w 2 in S = k w d 2 . S = k w d 2 = k w ( 144 − w 2 ) = k ( 144 w − w 3 ) Step 3: Differentiate S with respect to w . S = k ( 144 w − w 3 ) d S d w = k ( 144 − 3 w 2 ) Step 4: For maxima and minima, d S d w = 0
