Did I calculate correctly?
Hello! I have a question about the following invoice:
The total circumference of the sports area shown here should be 400m. Determine the radius r so that the rectangular area (between the two semicircles) is as large as possible.
Here is the sketch:
My approach:
HB: A= 2r • a (since 2r = d and d = b, I omitted b)
NB: 400 = 2πr (circumference) + 2a + 4r (rectangular circumference)
Then I transformed to a: -πr – 2r + 200= a
Then inserted into the HB: A= 2r ( -πr – 2r + 200) -> multiplied out A= -2πr^2 – 4r^2 + 400r
Then differentiate and set to 0, the result is r = 19.449.
Could someone please check if this is correct? 😅
Thank you
The 4r (i.e. the left and right side of the rectangle) no longer belong to the circumference in the billing. So it is
NB 400 = 2 *
with neglect of units.
The +4r in the NB has to go. The two vertical lines
do not count to the extent.
