Let x be the width and y be the length of the rectangle. x/2 is the radius of the semicircle Perimeter of the Norman window is x+2y+(π x)/2 Let P be the perimeter --- 288 in this problem. P = x+2y+(π x)/2--------(1) Solving for y from equation (1) 2y = P-x-πx/2 y = P/2-x/2-πx/4--------(2) Area = xy + π x^2 / 8 A = x(P/2-x/2-π x/4) + π x^2/8 A= Px/2-x^2 /2 -πx^2/4 +πx^2/8 dA/dx = P/2 -2x/2-2πx /4 +2πx / 8 =0 (4p-8x-2πx)/8=0 4p-2x(π+4)=0 4p=2x(π+4) x= 2P / (4+π) The radius is x/2 = P/(4+PI) Substitute P with 288 radius = 288 / (4+PI) will maximize the area of the window.
d^2A/dx^2 =-1-π/2+π/4 < 0, indicates that the area is maximized. You'll have to simplify x and y if you want them in numeric format.

What are advantages and disadvantages of circular queue over ordinary queue?
Circular queues are very efficient and work well with low level codes. Ordinary queues are the standard type of queue but they do not maximize memory data well.

A closed rectangular box is to be constructed with a base as long as its wide suppose that the total surface area is 27square feet find the dimension of the box that maximize the volume?
Since the base is equal to the length, then the two parts of the box, up and down are two squares, let's say with length side x. So the other four parts may be rectangles with length x, and wide y, (where y is also the height of the box). Since the surface area is 27 ft^2, we have: Surface Area = 27 = 2x^2 + 4xy Solve for y y = (27 - 2x^2)/4xThus, we have:l = xw = xh = (27 - 2x^2)/4xV = lwhV= (x)(x)[27 - 2x^2)/4x] Simplify and multiply:V = (27x - 2x^3)/4V = (1/4)(27x - 2x^3) Take the derivative: V'= (1/4)(27 - 6x^2) Find the critical values by setting the derivative equal to zero:0 = (1/4)(27 - 6x^2) multiply by 0 both sides:0 = 27 - 6x^2 add 6x^2 to both sides:6x^2 = 27 divide by 6 to both sides:x^2 = 27/6x^2 = 9/2 Square both sides:x = √(9/2)x = (3√2)/2y = (27 - 2x^2)/4xy = 27/4x - (2x^2)/4xy = 27/4x - x/2 substitute (3√2)/2 for x:y = 27/][4(3√2)/2)] - (3√2)/2)/2y = (9√2)/4 - (3√2)/4y = (6√2)/4y = (3√2)/2 As we see the box is a cube.V = side^3V = [(3√2)/2]^3 V = (27√2)/4So, V = (27√2)/4 ft^3 when x = (3√2)/2. Thus, we can maximize the volume of this box if l = w = h = (3√2)/2 ft.
How do you maximize the area given the perimeter?
In the case of a rectangle, you would maximize the area given the perimeter by making the dimensions equal. In other words, you would make the rectangle into a square. However, to truly maximize the area, you would make the perimeter a perfect circle.

Show that the rectangle of maximum area for given perimeter P is always a square?
Suppose there exists some rectangle whose center is the point (x,y) = (0,0) with a given perimeter P and that we'd like to find the dimensions which maximize its area. The method we will use is called Lagrange Multipliers. Then f(x,y) = P = 4x + 4y and g(x,y) A = xy. (fx, fy) = L(gx, gy) (for some constant L which exists on the set of real numbers) (4, 4) = L(y,x) (4, 4) = (Ly, Lx) But then Lx = 4 = Ly which yields Lx = Ly and x = y. Therefore when the area is maximized, the x component equals the y component. Furthermore, a rectangle centered at (0,0) whose corner falls on some point (x,y) at which x = y is a square.

How to Maximize Window?
Maximize Window: F11 or Windows logo key + Up arrow
A special window has the shape of a rectangle surmounted by an equilateral triangle If the perimeter of the window is sixteen feet what dimensions will emit the most light?
For maximum light to pass, area should be maximum.AIM: Maximize areaLet the length of rectangle be L and breadth be B.which makes each side of triangle be B.P(Perimeter)= 2*L + 3*B = 16L= (16-3B)/2Area= B*L + (31/2B*B)/4 = 8B-(3B2/2)+(31/2B2/4)dA/dB= 8-3B+(31/2B/2)At maxima or minima dA/dB=0,B= 16/(6-31/2)We will see that d2A/dB 2 @ B= 16/(6-31/2) is smaller than zero which meansthat it is a point of maxima.Now find the value of L and put both of them in the Area equation.I'm too tired to do so.
