Question: 1 1 . ( 5 e . c . points ) Sometimes the solution of an optimization problem depends on the proportions of the shapes

11.(5 e.c. points)
Sometimes the solution of an optimization problem depends on the proportions of the shapes involved. As a case in point, suppose that a right circular cylinder of radius \( r \) and height \( h \) is inseribed in a right circular cone of radius \( R \) and height \( H \), as shown above. Find the value of \( r \), in terms of \( R \) and \( H \), that maximizes the total surface area of the cylinder (including the top and bottom.) As you will see, the solution depends on whether \( H \leqslant 2 R \) and \( H>2 R \).(SHOW ALL WORK)
