उत्तर
Let the length and breadth of a rectangle be x and y, respectively.
∴ Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (x + y) = 36 cm
∴ x + y = 18
∴ y = 18 − x ....(i)
Area of rectangle = x × y
= x (18 − x) ...from eq (i)
Let f(x) = x(18 − x)
= 18x − x2
Then f'(x) = `d/dx (18 - x^2)`
= 18 × 1 − 2x
= 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 a maximum value at x = 9.
When x = 9, y = 18 − 9 = 9
Hence, the rectangle is a square of side 9 cm.
