A wire of length 15 is cut into two pieces which are then bent into the shape of a circle of radius r and a square of side a. Then the total area enclosed by the circle and square is the following function of sand r If we solve for s in terms of r. we can reexpress this area as the following function of r alone Thus we find that to obtain maximal area we should let r To obtain minimal area we should let r
