easiest calculus question ever

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Consider a window the shape of which is a rectangle of height h surmounted by a triangle having a height T that is 1.6 times the width w of the rectangle (as shown in the figure below). |dw:1405568597194:dw| If the cross-sectional area is A, determine the dimensions of the window which minimize the perimeter. h= w=

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Well, you should first calculate the perimeter.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the perimeter should be 2h+w

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

No, you forgot the triangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

darnet one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The complete perimeter is therefore p = 2h+w+2.6w = 2h+3.6w

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im pretty sure I messed up somewhere

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tkhunny could you do it to see if we get the same equation?

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Where did you get that? |dw:1405569256812:dw|
