JEE Mains · Maths · STD 12 - 6. Application of derivatives
A wire of length \(22 \;m\) is to be cut into two pieces. One of the pieces is to be made into a square and the other into an equilateral triangle. Then, the length of the side of the equilateral triangle, so that the combined area of the square and the equilateral triangle is minimum, is
- A \(\frac{22}{9+4 \sqrt{3}}\)
- B \(\frac{66}{9+4 \sqrt{3}}\)
- C \(\frac{22}{4+9 \sqrt{3}}\)
- D \(\frac{66}{4+9 \sqrt{3}}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\frac{66}{9+4 \sqrt{3}}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(A _{ T }=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a ^{2}+ b ^{2}\) \(=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} x ^{2} / 9+\frac{(22- x )^{2}}{16}\) \(\frac{ d A}{ dx }=0 \Rightarrow x \left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2 \times 9}+\frac{1}{8}\right)-\frac{22}{8}=0\) \(\Rightarrow x \left(\frac{4 \sqrt{3}+9}{36}\right)=\frac{11}{2}\)…
