ANSWER

Let the 2 pieces be x,y

Given,

x+y=20

Perimeter of square =x

Side=

4

x

Area of square =

16

x

Perimeter of triangle =y

Side=

y

Area of triangle =

z= area of square + area of triangle

z=

differentiating the equation, we get,

(20−x)

equate,

dx

dz

=0

we have,

(20−x)

solving the above equation, we get,

→x=

y=20−

→y=

Thus z is minimum, when x=

and y=

Hence, wire of length 20cm should be cut into pieces of lengths
