A Norman window has the shape of a rectangle with a semi circle on top; diameter of the semicircle exactly matches the width of the rectangle. Find the dimensions w * h of the Norman window whose perimeter is 500in. that has maximal area.
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter P = w + w*pi/2 + 2h = 500
\n" ); document.write( "w*(pi/2 + 1) + 2h = 500
\n" ); document.write( "h = 250 - w*(pi/4 + 1/2)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Area = w*h + pi*(w/2)^2/2
\n" ); document.write( "Sub for h
\n" ); document.write( "Area = w*(250 - w*(pi/4 + 1/2)) + pi*w^2/8
\n" ); document.write( "Area = (pi/8)*w^2 -w^2*(pi/4 + 1/2) + 250w
\n" ); document.write( "Area = (-pi/8 - 1/2)*w^2 + 250w
\n" ); document.write( "dArea/dw = (-pi/4 - 1)w + 250 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "w = 250/(pi/4 + 1)
\n" ); document.write( "w =~ 140.025
\n" ); document.write( "h =~ 70.012
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
