Misc 7 The sum of the perimeter of a circle and square is k, where k is some constant. Prove that the sum of their areas is least when the side of square is double the radius of the circle.Let π be radius of circle
& y be side of the square
Given
Sum of perimeter of circle & square is k
Circumference of circle + Perimeter of square = k
2Ο (πΉππ πππ)+ 4 (πΊππ π) = k
2Οπ₯ + 4y = k
4π¦ = k β 2Οπ₯
y =(π β ππ π)/π
We need to minimize the Sum of Areas
Let A be the Sum of their Area
A = Area of circle + Area of square
A = Ο(πππππ’π )^2+(π πππ)^2
A = Οπ₯2 + π¦2
A = Οπ2 + ((π β ππ π)/π)^π
Differentiating w.r.t π₯
ππ΄/ππ₯=π(γππ₯γ^2 + ((π β 2ππ₯)/4)^2 )/ππ₯
= π(ππ₯^2 )/ππ₯+π/ππ₯ ((π β 2ππ₯)/4)^2
= Ο π(π₯^2 )/ππ₯+1/4^2 (π(π β 2ππ₯)^2)/ππ₯
= Ο (2π₯)+1/16 2(πβ2ππ₯).π(π β 2ππ₯)/ππ₯
= 2Ο π₯ + 1/8 (πβ2ππ₯)(β2π)
= 2Ο π₯ β π(π β 2ππ₯)/4
=2ππ₯βπ/4 (πβ2ππ₯)
= (8ππ₯ β ππ + 2π^2 π₯)/4
= (2ππ₯(4 + π) β ππ)/4
Putting π π¨/π π=π
(2ππ₯(4 + π) β ππ)/4=0
2Οπ₯(4+π)=ππ
π₯ = ππ/2π(4 + π)
π = π/π(π + π )
Finding (π ^π π¨)/(π π^π )
ππ΄/ππ₯= (2ππ₯(4 + π) β ππ)/4
ππ΄/ππ₯= 2ππ₯(4 + π)/4 β (ππ )/4
Differentiating w.r.t π₯
(π^2 π΄)/(ππ₯^2 ) = π/ππ₯ (2π(4 + π)/4.π₯)βπ/ππ₯ (ππ/4)
(π^2 π΄)/(ππ₯^2 ) = 2Ο ((4 + π))/4 . ππ₯/ππ₯β0
(π^2 π΄)/(ππ₯^2 ) = 2π(4 + π)/4
> 0
Since π^β²β² > 0 for x = π/2(4 + π)
Thus, A is minimum at x = π/2(4 + π)
We need to prove that
Sum of their Areas is least when the side of square is double the radius of the circle
So, we need to find value of y
"From (1)"
π¦ = (π β 2ππ₯)/4
Putting value of π₯ = π/2(4 + π)
π¦ = (π β 2π(π/2(4 + π) ))/4
π¦ = π/4 (1β2π/2(4 + π) )
π¦ = π/4 (1βπ/(4 + π))
π¦ = π/4 ((4 + π + π)/(4 + π))
π¦ = π/4 (4/(4 + π))
π = π/(π + π )
Thus,
π¦=2(π/2(π + 4) )
π=ππ
Hence, Sum of their areas is least when the side of square is double the radius of the circle.
