उत्तर
Let x be the length and y be the breadth of the rectangle whose area is A sq units (which is given as constant).
Then xy = A
∴ y = `"A"/x` ...(1)
Let P be the perimeter of the retangle.
Then P = 2(x + y)
= `2(x + "A"/x)` ...[By(1)]
∴ `"dP"/dx = 2.d/dx(x + "A"/x)`
= 2[1 + A(– 1)x–2]
= `2(1 - "A"/x^2)`
and
`(d^2P)/(dx^2) = 2d/dx(1 - "A"/x^2)`
= 2[0 – A(– 1)x–3]
= `(4"A")/x^3`
Now, `"dp"/dx 0, "gives" 2(1 - "A"/x^2)` = 0
∴ x2 – a = 0
∴ x2 = A
∴ x = `sqrt("A")` ...[∵ x > 0]
and
`((d^2P)/(dx^2))_("at" x = dsqrt("A")`
= `(4"A")/(sqrt("A"))^3 > 0`
∴ P is minimum when x = `sqrt("A")`
If x = `sqrt("A"), "then" y = "A"/x = "A"/sqrt("A") = sqrt("A")`
∴ x = y
∴ rectangle is a square.
Hence, among rectangles of given area, the square has least perimeter.

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"`
