You have a wire that is 38 cm long. you wish to cut it into two pieces. one piece will be bent into the shape of a square. the other piece will be bent into the shape of a circle. let a represent the total area of the square and the circle. what is the circumference of the circle when a is a minimum?

give your answer to two decimal places

16.71 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of wire L=38 cm

One piece is bent in the form of square and another in the form of circle

let x be the length of circle

therefore length of square side

A=total area of square and circle

radius of circle

area of circle

Area of square

To get the minimum value of A we get

Therefore circumference of circle

16.80 times .20= 3.36
