if the rectangle is x wide by y high, then the diameter of the window is x.
So
x + 2y + π/2 x = 72
thus, y = [72-(1 + π/2)x]/2
The area is
a = xy + π/8 x^2
= x[72-(1 + π/2)x]/2 + π/8 x^2
= 36x - (1+π/4)x^2 + π/8 x^2
= 36x - (1 + 3π/8)x^2
da/dx = 36 - (2 + 3π/4)x
da/dx=0 when
x = 36/(2+ 3π/4)) = 144/(8+3π)
now you can easily find y.
