Question 1078694: A window has the shape of a rectangle with a right isosceles triangle on top. If the area of the window is to be 3m^2, what dimentions of the rectangle and triangle will minimize the perimeter of the window? Round answers to the nearest tenth of a metre.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! x and y, dimensions of the rectangle;
base of the isosceles right triangle lies along x; the each leg of the isosceles triangle (the two congruent ones) is .
AREA:
PERIMETER, p:
-
-
(Set derivative equal to 0 to solve for x dimension for the minimum perimeter p).
-
This is not the completed solution.
