Question

A wire 8 meters long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a equilateral triangle for a frame for a stained glass ornament, while the other piece is bent into a circle for a TV antenna. To reduce storage space, where should the wire be cut to minimize the total area of both figures? Give the length of wire used for each:
For the equilateral triangle:
For the circle:
(for both, include units)

Where should the wire be cut to maximize the total area? Again, give the length of wire used for each:
For the equilateral triangle:
For the circle:
(for both, include units)
