Provide solution for RD Sharma maths class12 Chapter Maxima and Minima exercise 17.5 question 9.
x =2r
Hint: For maximum or minimum value of z must have
Given: Let the length of the side of square and radius of the circle x and y respectively. It's given that the sum of the perimeters of square and circle is constant
Solution: (k is constant)
.......(1)
Now,
.....rom equation (1)
So the sum of the areas, A is least when
From (1) and (2) we get
Side of square = Diameter of circle
Hence, it has been proved that the sum of their areas is least when the side of the square is double the radius of the circle .
