Optimization problem

[OfficialAnu]

Are the primary and secondary eq. correct?

 

[MarkFL]

Yes, your objective function (perimeter) and the constraint (area) appear to be correctly stated.

 

[Steven G]

No, your perimeter/obj fnct is wrong. It should be P = 2y + 6x

 

[MarkFL]

The perimeter is only along the outside.

 

[Otis]

… should be P = 2y + 6x

Jomo, I think those two inside x-segments were drawn to show equilateral triangles.

?

 

[Steven G]

Yes, thank you both for pointing out the obvious.
Denis, I'll meet in the corner to play X/O but I insist that I go first.
