1
2933-2936
Solution Let R be a point on AB such that AR = x m Then RB = (20 – x) m (as AB = 20 m) From Fig 6 16, we have RP2 = AR2 + AP2 and RQ2 = RB2 + BQ2 Therefore RP2 + RQ2 = AR2 + AP2 + RB2 + BQ2 = x2 + (16)2 + (20 – x)2 + (22)2 = 2x2 – 40x + 1140 Let S ≡ S(x) = RP2 + RQ2 = 2x2 – 40x + 1140
1
2934-2937
Then RB = (20 – x) m (as AB = 20 m) From Fig 6 16, we have RP2 = AR2 + AP2 and RQ2 = RB2 + BQ2 Therefore RP2 + RQ2 = AR2 + AP2 + RB2 + BQ2 = x2 + (16)2 + (20 – x)2 + (22)2 = 2x2 – 40x + 1140 Let S ≡ S(x) = RP2 + RQ2 = 2x2 – 40x + 1140 Therefore S′(x) = 4x – 40
1
2935-2938
From Fig 6 16, we have RP2 = AR2 + AP2 and RQ2 = RB2 + BQ2 Therefore RP2 + RQ2 = AR2 + AP2 + RB2 + BQ2 = x2 + (16)2 + (20 – x)2 + (22)2 = 2x2 – 40x + 1140 Let S ≡ S(x) = RP2 + RQ2 = 2x2 – 40x + 1140 Therefore S′(x) = 4x – 40 Now S′(x) = 0 gives x = 10

1
2937-2940
Therefore S′(x) = 4x – 40 Now S′(x) = 0 gives x = 10 Also S″(x) = 4 > 0, for all x and so S″(10) > 0 Therefore, by second derivative test, x = 10 is the point of local minima of S
1
2938-2941
Now S′(x) = 0 gives x = 10 Also S″(x) = 4 > 0, for all x and so S″(10) > 0 Therefore, by second derivative test, x = 10 is the point of local minima of S Thus, the distance of R from A on AB is AR = x =10 m
1
2939-2942
Also S″(x) = 4 > 0, for all x and so S″(10) > 0 Therefore, by second derivative test, x = 10 is the point of local minima of S Thus, the distance of R from A on AB is AR = x =10 m Example 25 If length of three sides of a trapezium other than base are equal to 10cm, then find the area of the trapezium when it is maximum
