How much wire should be used for the square in order to minimize the total area? A piece of wire 28 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent...

You should
come up with the following notations: x expresses the length of side of square and y expresses
the length of side of equilateral triangle.

You need to evaluate the
perimeters of square and equilateral triangle such that:

`P square =
4x`

P triangle = `3y`

The problem provides the information
that the total length of piece of wire is of 28 m such that:

`28 = 4x + 3y
=gt y = (28-4x)/3:`

You need to evaluate the total area of square
and...
