Let's find the perimeter of the window.

The bottom side is

. The left and right sides make

.
The perimeter of a circle is $2\pi r$ , so the perimeter of a semicircle must be $\pi r$ , The radius is $\frac{1}2x$ , so that gives $\frac{1}2\pi x$ for the curve. All of that is equal to 12.

$x+2y+\frac{1}2\pi x=12$

We only want to use one variable to create the area formula, so let's solve for

.

$2y=12-x-\frac{1}2\pi x$

$y=6-\frac{1}2x-\frac{1}4\pi x$

Now that we have a value for

in terms of

, we can find the area in terms of

.

The area of the rectangle is going to be

, which then becomes

$A_r=x(6-\frac{1}2x-\frac{1}4\pi x$

$A_r=6x-\frac{1}2x^2-\frac{1}4\pi x^2$

The area of the semicircle is going to be $\frac{1}2\pi r^2$ .

Since $r=\frac{1}2x$ , $A_{sc}=\frac{1}2\pi (\frac{1}2x)^2$ .

$A_{sc}=\frac{1}2\pi \frac{1}4x^2$

$A_{sc}=\frac{1}8\pi x^2$

Now let's add the areas of the rectangle and semicircle.

$A=A_r+A_{sc}$

$A=6x-\frac{1}2x^2-\frac{1}4\pi x^2+\frac{1}8\pi x^2$

$A=6x-\frac{1}2x^2-\frac{1}8\pi x^2$

If you wanted to factor out $\frac{1}8$ like you did, this would become

$\boxed{A(x)=\frac{1}8(48x=4x^2-\pi x^2)}$

Now what we want to do is find what

is when

is at its highest point, Once we have the value for

we can also find the value for

, of course.

Let's put our equation in the general form of a quadratic.

$A(x)=(-\frac{1}2-\frac{1}8\pi )x^2+6x$

Now we can use the vertex formula $x=\frac{-b}{2a}$ .
(

and

refer to

.)

$x=\frac{-6}{2(-\frac{1}2-\frac{1}8\pi)}$

$x=\frac{-6}{-\frac{1}4\pi -1}$

$x=\frac{-24}{-\pi -4}$

$\boxed{x=\frac{24}{\pi +4}}$

Now let's plug that in for $y=6-\frac{1}2x-\frac{1}4\pi x$ .

Since our final answers are in decimal form and not exact form, we can make our lives a little easier here and just use $x\approx3.36059492$ .

$y\approx6-\frac{1}2(3.36059492)-\frac{1}4\pi(3.36059492)$

$y\approx6-(1.68029746+2.63940507809)$

$\boxed{y\approx1.68029746191}$

Let's take our answers for

and

and round to 2 decimal places.

$\boxed{x\approx 3.36\ ft}$

$\boxed{y\approx 1.68\ ft}$

Answer from: Quest

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
