    Let A be the area of paper, x be the width of the printed area, and y be the height of the printed area. A = (x + 2 (1.5)) (y + 2 (1)) and xy = 64 A = (x + 3) (64/x + 2) A = 70 + 192/x + 2x dA/dx = - 192/x^2 + 2 = 0 96 = x^2 x = 4sqrt (6) x + 3 ≠12.8 in. y = 64/[4sqrt (6) ] = 8sqrt (6) / 3 y + 2 ≠8.53 in.
