Answer to Problem 14CT

The dimensions of the rectangle of greatest areaare 5cm and 5cm whose perimeter is 20 cm.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Perimeter of rectangle is 20 cm.

Calculation: to find the dimensions, let x is the length of the rectangle and y is the width of the rectangle.

  2(x+y)=20x+y=10          [divide]y=10x              [subtract]

Thus, the area of the rectangle can be defined as:

  a=x(10x)a=10xx2    [multiply]

To find the greatest area, first differentiate and then put equal to zero,

  a=10xx2a'=102x    [differentiate]102x=0     [equal to zero]x=5                [simplify]

Thus, the dimensions of the rectangle is 5cm and 5cm .
