Ok guys and gals... so you think you remember you High School Trig eh ?? Here is a refresher problem A half circle is placed on top of a rectangle such that its diameter is the top side of the rectangle. The length of the 3 remaining sides of the rectangle, plus the circumference of the half circle is equal to 10 cm. Question: What are the lengths of the sides of the rectangle when the area of the combined figure is at its maximum ? ... just in case you are bored with your weekend :) Cheers RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
