Explanation:

you mean A = area of the rectangle ?

and p = the perimeter of the rectangle ?

the area of the rectangle is

length×width = 2y × 2x = 4xy

the perimeter is

2×length + 2×width = 2×2y + 2×2x = 4x + 4y

based on the primary circle function

x² + y² = 4

we get

y² = 4 - x²

y = sqrt(4 - x²)

1)

f(x) = 4xy = 4x×sqrt(4 - x²) = g(x)×h(x)

g(x) = 4x

h(x) = h(i(x)) = sqrt(4 - x²)

i(x) = 4 - x²

the zeros of the first derivation gives us the extreme point(s).

f'(x) = g'(x)×h(x) + g(x)×h'(x)

g'(x) = 4

(h(i(x))' = h'(i(x))×i'(x)

h'(x) = 1/(2×sqrt(x))

i'(x) = -2x

so,

f'(x) = 4×sqrt(4 - x²) + 4x×-2x/(2×sqrt(4 - x²)) =

= 4×sqrt(4 - x²) - 4x²/sqrt(4 - x²)

f'(x) = 0

4×sqrt(4 - x²) - 4x²/sqrt(4 - x²) = 0, x² < 4, -2 < x < 2

sqrt(4 - x²) - x²/sqrt(4 - x²) = 0

sqrt(4 - x²) = x²/sqrt(4 - x²)

let's multiply by sqrt(4 - x²)

4 - x² = x²

4 = 2x²

x² = 2

x = sqrt(2)

therefore, the largest A (area of the rectangle) is for

x = sqrt(2), which also makes y = sqrt(2), which makes the rectangle a square.

2)

f(x) = 4x + 4×sqrt(4 - x²)

f'(x) = 4 + 4×-2x/(2×sqrt(4 - x²)) = 0, -2 < x < 2

4 - 4x/sqrt(4 - x²) = 0

1 - x/sqrt(4 - x²) = 0

1 = x/sqrt(4 - x²)

multiply by sqrt(4 - x²)

sqrt(4 - x²) = x

square both sides

4 - x² = x²

4 = 2x²

x = sqrt(2)

so, also the perimeter of the rectangle is at maximum with

x = sqrt(2) and the rectangle is again a square.
