(a) How much wire should be used for the circle in order to maximize the total area?
(b) How much wire should be used for the circle in order to minimize the total area?

area=4s^2+2PI r^2 were s, r are measurements
4s+PI*2r=24m
s= 24-2PIr
area=4(24+2PIr)+2PI r^2
darea/dr=8PI+4PIr=0
r= 2
s= (24-2PI*2)/4
check my thinking.
