figure.
The wire should be cut at 2 meters. The length of wire used for the square frame would be 2 meters, and the length of wire used for the circle would also be 2 meters.
A wire 4 meters long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square 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
