    A wire 34 cm long is to be bent in the form of a quadrilateral of which each angle is \[90{}^\circ \]. What is the maximum area which can be enclosed inside the quadrilateral?

    A) \[68\,\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    B) \[70\,\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    C) \[71.25\,\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    D) \[72.25\,\,c{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d] Let one side of quadrilateral be x and another side be y so, \[2(x+y)=34\] or, \[(x+y)=17....(i)\] We know from the basic principle that for a given perimeter square has the maximum area, so, x = y and putting this value in equation (i) \[x=y=\frac{17}{2}\] Area \[=x.y=\frac{17}{2}\times \frac{17}{2}=\frac{289}{4}=72.25\]
