Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Given region is
and
On drawing the diagram,
Let the side PS on the X-axis, such that P(x, 0), and Q(x, 2sin(2x)), so length of the sides and PQ = RS = 2sin 2x.

Perimeter of the rectangle
For maximum,
and {\left. {{{{d^2}y} \over {d{x^2}}}} \right|_{x = {\pi \over 6}}} = {\left. { - 4\sin 2x} \right|_{x = {\pi \over 6}}}\, < \,0
At , the rectangle PQRS have maximum perimeter.
So length of sides
and
Required area =
