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.

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"`
