A wire 7 meters long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a equilateral triangle for a frame for a stained glass ormament, while the other piece is bent into a circle for a TV antenna. To reduce storage space, where should the wire be cut to minimize the total area of both figures? Give the length of wire used for each: V3 For the equilateral triangle: a (7-x)? For the circle: 123 47 (for both, include units) Where should the wire be cut to maximize the total area? Again, give the length of wire used for each: For the equilateral triangle: 4.3ốm For the circle: 2.64m (for both, include units)

Question
Transcribed Image Text:A wire 7 meters long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a equilateral triangle for a frame for a stained glass ornament, while the other piece is bent into
a circle for a TV antenna. To reduce storage space, where should the wire be cut to minimize the total area of both figures? Give the length of wire used for each:
V3
For the equilateral triangle: a
(7-x)?
For the circle:
123
47
(for both, include units)
Where should the wire be cut to maximize the total area? Again, give the length of wire used for each:
For the equilateral triangle: 4.3ôm
For the circle: 2.64m
(for both, include units)
