QUESTION 9
A bathroom window is in the form of a rectangle with a semicircle at the top. The rectangle
has the following dimensions: Breadth = 2𝑥 metres and length = 𝑦 metres.
The semicircle is made of clear glass while the rectangular part is
made of coloured glass which transmits only half as much light
per square metre as the clear glass. The total perimeter of the
window is fixed at 6 metres.
The following formulae may be used to assist you in
𝑦 answering this question:
Area of rectangle = length breadth
Area of circle = 𝜋𝑟
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 length breadth
Circumference of circle = 2 𝜋𝑟
2𝑥
9.1 Show that the height of the rectangle is given by:
𝜋𝑟
𝑦 3 𝑥 (2)

9.2 Show that the amount of light being transmitted through the window is 𝐿 𝑥 𝑥 3𝑥. (5)
9.3 Determine the values of 𝑥 and 𝑦 (in terms of 𝜋) when the light entering through the
window, is maximised. (3)
9.4 Hence, determine the value of 𝑥 so that the greatest possible amount of light enters
