If rectangles are inscribed in a circle of radius r units. Then the dimensions of the rectangle which has maximum area are
Options
- A2 r units, r units,
- B2r units, 2 r units,
- Cr units, 2 r units,
- D2 r units, 2 r units
Correct answer
D. 2 r units, 2 r units
Step-by-step solution
Let A B C D be the rectangle inscribed in a circle of radius 'r'. AC = BD =2 r = diameter Let x and y be the length and breath of rectangle. x²+y²=(2 r)² y= 4 r²-x² Now Area of rectangle = A = xy aligned & A=x 4 r²-x² & d A d x = 4 r²-x² + x 2 4 r²-x² (-2 x)= 4 r²-x² - x² 4 r²-x² & d A d x = 4 r²-2 x² 4 r²-x² aligned For maximum Area, dA dx =0 4 r ²-2 x ²=0 x = 2 r d ² ~A dx ² >0 for x = 2 r Therefore area is maximum when x= 2 r y= 4 r²-2 r² = 2 r
