A wire of length 20m is to be cut into two pieces. One of the pieces is to be made into a square and the other into a regular hexagon. Then the length of the side (in meters) of the hexagon, so that the combined area of the square and the hexagon is minimum, is:
A wire of length 20m is to be cut into two pieces. One of the pieces is to be made into a square and the other into a regular hexagon. Then the length of the side (in meters) of the hexagon, so that the combined area of the square and the hexagon is minimum, is:
Let square is made with piece of length x metre & hexagon with piece of length y metre
x + y = 20 .........(i)
Now let A = area of square + area of hexagon
,
for minimum area
=> side of hexagon =

y (x) = ∫? (2t² - 15t + 10)dt
dy/dx = 2x² - 15x + 10.
For tangent at (a, b), slope is m = dx/dy = 1 / (dy/dx) = 1 / (2a² - 15a + 10).
Given slope is -1/3.
2a² - 15a + 10 = -3
2a² - 15a + 13 = 0 (The provided solution has 2a²-15a+7=0, suggesting a different problem or a typo)
Following the image: 2a² - 15a
f' (c) = 1 + lnc = e/ (e-1)
lnc = e/ (e-1) - 1 = (e - (e-1)/ (e-1) = 1/ (e-1)
c = e^ (1/ (e-1)

Area
3x2 = 10
x = k

By truth table
So F1 (A, B, C) is not a tautology
Now again by truth table
So F2 (A, B) be a tautology.
