Question: The shape shown is a wire frame in the form of a large rectangle split by parallel lengths of wire into 12 smaller equal-sized rectangles.
The shape shown is a wire frame in the form of a large rectangle split by parallel lengths of wire into 12 smaller equal-sized rectangles.
a. Given that the total length of wire used to complete the whole frame is 1512 mm, show that the area of the whole shape, A mm2, is given by the formula

where x mm is the width of one of the smaller rectangles.
b. Hence find the maximum area which can be enclosed in this way.

A = 1296x 108.x 7
