A rectangular page is to contain 24 square inches of print. The margins at the top and bottom of the page are to be 1.5 inches, and the margins on the left and right are to be 1 inch. What should the dimensions of the page be so that the least amount of paper is used?
A2:
9 in x 6 in
Solution:
A = (x+3)(y+2) and xy = 24 A = (x+3)(24/x + 2) = 30 +2x + (72/x) dA/dx = 2 – (72/x2) = 0 x=6 y = 24/6 = 4 (6+3) in x (4+2) in 9 in x 6 in
