2. I am making flowers from pipe cleaners and need a circle for the center and congruent equilateral triangles for each of the 5 petals. If I use one 50 inch pipe cleaner for each flower, and I want the sum of the area of the six figures to be a maximum, how much of the pipe cleaner should be used for each shape assuming I do not want any pipe cleaner left over? 3 Hint: The area of an equilateral triangle is 4 +2 with x = the length of a side. 2.
