Question:

A rectangle of length ‘x’ and breadth ‘y’ is inscribed in a semi-circle of fixed radius ‘r’ as shown in the figure given below.

Based on the above information answer the following question:

The value of θ, for which A'(θ) = 0 is

Options:

π

\(\frac{π}{2}\)

\(\frac{π}{4}\)

\(\frac{π}{3}\)

Correct Answer:

\(\frac{π}{4}\)

Explanation:

$A'(θ)=0$

$A=r^2sin2θ$

$A'=2r^2cos2θ=0$

$2θ=(2n+1)\frac{\pi}{2}$

$θ =(2n+1)\frac{\pi}{4}⇒θ = \frac{\pi}{4}$

Option C is correct.
