Question 451174: A 10m rope is used to enclose a square area with side x and a circle area with radius r. How much rope should be used for the square and how much for the circle if the total area enclosed by the two shapes is to be a max? Plot total area enclosed by two shapes as a function of x, where x varies from .05 to 5m, and please show graphically that the area reaches a max at x=1.4m. I think the x at the max total area = 10/(pi+4). I tried using matlab, any matlab commands would help!

Question 458157: Suppose you are given a box whose interior measures 50 cm by 55 cm and is 30 cm high. What is the maximum number of MAT 115 textbooks you can pack inside the box without folding, cutting or otherwise damaging the books? You must try to visualize the solution and provide clearly written instructions or a detailed drawing to explain how you would place the books in the box.
Hint for Problem Two: You will have to measure the length, width, and depth of your textbook in centimeters (cm). As a group, compare the measurements taken by each person and then agree on one set of measurements to use in your solution.
