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 area
Let the length of rectangle be L and breadth be B.
which makes each side of triangle be B.
P(Perimeter)= 2*L + 3*B = 16
L= (16-3B)/2
Area= 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 means
that 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.

What is the effect on the perimeter of a rectangle if the dimension are doubled what is the effect on its perimeter?
A rectangle has two dimensions - length and width. Only if both dimensions are doubled, then the perimeter will be doubled.

The length of a rectangle is twice the width width the perimeter is 48 in find the dimensions of the rectangle?
If the length of a rectangle is twice its width and it has a perimeter of 48, then the rectangle is 16 in length and 8 in width.
For a rectangle with a perimeter 72 to have the largest area what dimensions should it have Enter the smaller value first?
Since the largest area would be obtained by having adjacent sides equal to each other, and since a square is at least technically an equilateral rectangle, divide the perimeter of 72 by 4 to get sides of 18 and an area of 324.
What is The length of a rectangle is 4 cm more than the width and the perimeter is at least 48 cm. What are the smallest possible dimensions for the rectangle?
The dimensions of the rectangle will then work out as 14 cm by 10 cm because the perimeter is 14+10+14+10 = 48 cm

Which has a greater perimeter the rectangle with the dimensions 21x 2 or the dimensions 6x7?
21 x 2 has greatest perimeter
What is the perimeter of a rectangle that has an area of 18?
That depends on the dimensions !... A 1 x 18 rectangle has a perimeter of 38 ! A 2 x 9 rectangle has a perimeter of 22 ! A 3 x 6 rectangle has a perimeter of 18 !
Parameter of rectangle equal parameter of triangle?
I hope you want to know the Perimeter. Perimeter is the total length of the boundary of the region bounded by a shape. For a rectangle it is the sum of the 4 bounding sides, or 2*(L+B), where L is Length of the rectangle and B is Breadth of the rectangle. For a Triangle it is the sum of the 3 sides. If you consider an equilateral triangle. By property the 3 sides of an equilateral triangle are equal. Hence the Perimeter of an equilateral triangle is denoted as; 3*a, where a is the length of one of the sides of the triangle. It is possible that the perimeter of a rectangle is same as that of many different types of triangles. We can formulate a relationship for a special case where the perimeter of a rectangle is equal to the perimeter of an equilateral triangle; P(R) = P(ET), P(R) is perimeter of rectangle and P(EQ) is perimeter of Equilateral triangle. P(R)=2(L*B) = P(EQ) = 3*a; hence, a = (2/3)*(L*B) = P(R)/3. i.e., the sides of the Equilateral triangle are one thirds of the perimeter of the rectangle.
