8 a. A piece of wire 8 cm is cut into two pieces. One of length x cm, is made into a

 circle. The other piece is bent to form a square. Find an expression for the total area
  of the circle and the square, in terms of r, where r is the radius of the circle.
4y = x Diagram 1 As x varies, find the radius of the circle which makes the total area a minimum.
