Best Answer

You refer to a "rectangular" bottom, but we know that a circle offers the most area for a given perimeter, so the height of the rectangular part should be 0. We really just want a semicircle with a perimeter of 12 meters.

π·d/2 + d = 12 m

(π/2 + 1)·d = 12 m

d = 12 m / (π/2 + 1) = ~4.6678 m
