PROBLEMS INVOLVING MAXIMA AND MINIMA
I . A wire 20 inches long will be cut into two parts, one to be bent to form a square, and the
other to fonn a circle. What is the side of the square and the diameter of the circle so that
the combined area is least?
2. A poster must have 32 square inches of printed matter with margins of 4 inches at the top
