one was used to form a circle of radiur r
hence circumfrence = 2pi.r
let the two parts = x and y such that x + y = 40
let x be used to make circle.
Hence x = 2pi.r
y = 40 - 2pi.r
y formed a square. Perimeter of square = 4*side = 40 - 2pi*r
side = 10 - pi*r/2
Area: Circle = pi*r^2
Square = (10 - pi*r/2)^2
Sum of area = pi*r^2 + (10 - pi*r/2)^2
