उत्तर

Let x metres and y metres be the length and breadth of the rectangle.

Then its perimeter is 2(x + y) = 36

∴ x + y = 18

∴ y = 18 – x

Area of the rectangle = xy = x(18 – x)

Let f'(x) = x(18 – x) = 18x – x2

∴ f'(x) = `d/(dx)(18x - x^2)` = 18 – 2x

and f'(x) = `d/(dx)(18 - 2x)` = 0 – 2 × 1 = –2

Now, f'(x) = 0, if 18 – 2x = 0

i.e. if x = 9

and f'(9) = – 2 < 0

∴ By the second derivative test, f has maximum value at x = 9.

When x = 9, y = 18 – 9 = 9

∴ x = 9 cm, y = 9 cm

∴ Rectangle is a square of side 9 metres.

A metal wire of 36 cm long is bent to form a rectangle. By completing the following activity, find it’s dimensions when it’s area is maximum.

Solution: Let the dimensions of the rectangle be x cm and y cm.

∴ 2x + 2y = 36

Let f(x) be the area of rectangle in terms of x, then

f(x) = `square`

∴ f'(x) = `square`

∴ f''(x) = `square`

For extreme value, f'(x) = 0, we get

x = `square`

∴ f''`(square)` = – 2 < 0

∴ Area is maximum when x = `square`, y = `square`

∴ Dimensions of rectangle are `square`

The rectangle has area of 50 cm2. Complete the following activity to find its dimensions for least perimeter.

Solution: Let x cm and y cm be the length and breadth of a rectangle.

Then its area is xy = 50

∴ `y =50/x`

Perimeter of rectangle `=2(x+y)=2(x+50/x)`

Let f(x) `=2(x+50/x)`

Then f'(x) = `square` and f''(x) = `square`

Now,f'(x) = 0, if x = `square`

But x is not negative.

∴ `x = root(5)(2)   "and" f^('')(root(5)(2))=square>0`

∴ by the second derivative test f is minimum at x = `root(5)(2)`

When x = `root(5)(2),y=50/root(5)(2)=root(5)(2)`

∴ `x=root(5)(2)  "cm" , y = root(5)(2)  "cm"`

Hence, rectangle is a square of side `root(5)(2)  "cm"`
