Answer: A 24 cm piece of string is cut into two pieces , one piece is used to form a circle and the other piece is used to form a square.

How should this string be cut so that the sum of the areas is a minimum .

:

Let x = the circumference of the circle

then

(24-x) = the perimeter of the square

:

Find the area of the circle

find r

2*pi*r = x

r =

Find the area of the circle

A =

A =

A = sq/cm, the area of the circle

:

Find the area of the square

A = sq/cm the area of the square

The total area

At = +

Graph this equation, find the min

Min occurs when x=10.6 cm

cut string 10.6 cm from one end

Step-by-step explanation: Hope I help out alot (-: :-)
