Correct answer: 36
-
Let the circle use length meters.
Then the remaining wire used for the square is:
-
Area of the circle in terms of
Since circumference of the circle is ,
So its area is:
-
Area of the square in terms of
The perimeter of the square is , so side length is:
Therefore area of the square is:
-
Total area
-
Minimize
Differentiate with respect to :
For minimum,
So,
Multiply by :
-
Compute the required value
We need:
Substitute :
-
Check minimum condition
Hence the value indeed gives a minimum.
Therefore, the required integer is:
