A wire, 80 cm long, is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent to form a square of side \(x\) cm and the other piece is bent to form a circle of radius \(r\) cm (see diagram). The total area of the square and the circle is \(A\) cm\(^2\).
(i) Show that \(A = \frac{(\pi + 4)x^2 - 160x + 1600}{\pi}\).
(ii) Given that \(x\) and \(r\) can vary, find the value of \(x\) for which \(A\) has a stationary value.
