उत्तर
Let ABC be the triangle such that the side BC = a = 4 cm. Also, the perimeter of the triangle is 10 cm.
i.e. a + b + c = 10
∴ 2s = 10
∴ s = 5
Also, 4 + b + c = 10
∴ b + c = 6
∴ b = 6 – c
Let Δ be the area of the trangle.
Then Δ = `sqrt(s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)`
= `sqrt(5(5 - 4)(5 - 6 + c)(5 - c)`
= `sqrt(5(c - 1)(5 - c)`
∴ Δ2 = 5(c – 1)(5 – c)
= 5(5c – c2 – 5 + c)
∴ Δ2 = 5(– c2 + 6c – 5)
Differentiable both sides ww.r.t. c, we get
`2Δ(dΔ)/(dc) = 5d/"dc"(-c^2 ++ 6c - 5)`
= 5 (– 2c + 6 x 1 – 0)
= 5 (– 2c + 6)
∴ `(dΔ)/"dc" = (5(-c + 3))/Δ`
and
`(d^2Δ)/(dc^2) = 5d/"dc"((-c + 3)/Δ)`
= `5.(Δd/"dc"(– c + 3) – ( – c + 3)(dΔ)/"dc")/Δ^2`
= `5.(Δ(– 1 + 0) – ( – c + 3)(dΔ)/"dc")/Δ^2`
= `5/Δ^2(-Δ - (c + 3)(dΔ)/"dc")`
= `(-5)/Δ^2[Δ + (c + 3)(dΔ)/"dc"]`
For maximum Δ, `(dΔ)/"dc"` = 0
∴ `(5( - c + 3))/Δ` = 0
∴ – c + 3 = 0 ...[∵ Δ ≠ 0]
∴ c = 3
If c = 3,
Δ = `sqrt(5(3 - 1)(5 - 3)`
= `2sqrt(5)`
∴ `((d^2Δ)/(dc^2))_("at" c = 3)`
= `(-5)/(4 xx 5)[2sqrt(5) + (3 + 3)(0)]`
= `sqrt(5)/(2) < 0`
∴ by the second derivative test, Δ is maximum when c= 3.
When c = 3, b = 6 – c = 6 – 3 = 3
Hence, the area of the triangle is maximum when the other two sides are 3cm and 3cm.

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"`
