Question

You are designing a rectangular poster to contain 144 in$^2$ of printing with a 8-in. margin at the top and bottom and a 2-in. margin at each side. What overall dimensions will minimize the amount of paper used? What is the vertical height of the poster that will minimize the amount of paper used? h = in.

Step 1

To do this, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is A = length * width. In this case, the length will be the height of the poster and the width will be the bottom plus the 2-inch margin on each side. Show more…
