A piece of wire  23-4 long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral triangle. (a) How much wire should be used for the square in order . to maximize the total area? (b) How much wire should be used for the square in order . to minimize the total area? Let x be the length of wire bent into.........................

5_8 + x =23_4                          

23_4 -5_8=x  

x =17_6
