A wire 24cm long is cut into two, and one part is bent into the shape of a circle, and the other into the shape of a square. How should it be cut if the sum of the areas of the circle and the square is to be a minimum? I know the answer is (24pi)/(4+pi)cm for the circle and (96)/(4+pi)cm for the square but how to solve for it?
