Document Summary

A piece of rope that is 18 feet long is cut into pieces. One piece is used to form a circle and the other used to form a square. Write a function f representing the area of the circle as a function of the length of one side of the square s. Hint : if c is the diameter of the circle and p is the perimeter of the square, then c + p = 18. Answer f(s) = (9-2s)2/ , the area of the circle as a function of the length of one side of the square. P = perimeter of square s = side of the square r = radius of the circle. , area of circle as a function of the length of one side of the square. C = 2 r , circumference of a circle. P = 4s , perimeter of a square.
