At least one of the answers above is NOT correct.
A wire 6 meters long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square for a frame for a stained glass ornament, while the other piece is bent into a circle for a
TV antenna. To reduce storage space, where should the wire be cut to minimize the total area of both figures? Give the length of wire used for each:
For the square: ($\frac{3}{2} - \frac{x}{4}$)$^2$ m
For the circle: $\frac{x^2}{4\pi}$ m
(for both, include units)
Where should the wire be cut to maximize the total area? Again, give the length of wire used for each:
For the square: $\frac{6\pi}{4 + \pi}$ m
For the circle: $\frac{24}{4 + \pi}$ m
(for both, include units)
