Your job is to design a printed flyer using a minimal area of paper. The printed area must be 50 sq in, and the margins as follows: side margins 1 in top margin 1.5 in bottom margin .5 in Thus, the flyer will be a rectangle with a smaller rectangle of printing inside it, as shown. You must determine the optimal dimensions: width, height and total area.

Enter the required dimensions (as numbers): width = ? in height = ? in area = ? sq in

Solution

This solution is case specific...

Here,

Horizontal margin = 1+1 = 2 in

Vertical Margin = 1.5+0.5 =2 in

Hence, Both margin are same.

So, in order to have a optimum paper size,

square paper is selected where printed vertical dimension is x and horizontal dimension is y

Hence x*y=50, due to square, x=y

x=y=7.07 in

Paper size = 9.07 in x 9.07 inches
