A rod 108 metres long is bent to form a rectangle. Find its dimensions, if its area is maximum.
Answer : Let x be the length and y be the breadth of the rectangle
∴ 2x + 2y = 108 ⇒ y = 54 – x
Now, area of rectangle = xy =x(54 – x)
Let f (x) = 54x – x2
∴ f ′(x) = 54 – 2x and f ′′(x) = – 2
For extreme values, f ′(x) = 0
⇒ 54 – 2x = 0 ⇒ x = 27
f ′′(27) = –2 < 0
∴ Area is maximum when x = 27, y = 27
