Christmas MT's answer to Christine Goh's Secondary 4 A Maths question.
Final answer on the rate of change of perimeter is incorrect.
The working on finding the rate of change of x is done correctly.
However, the perimeter being a function of x is not considered.
Perimeter is 10x,
dP/dt = (dP/dx)*(dx/dt)
= (10)*(1cm/s) = 10cm/s
(the units for dA/dx found in this answer should be cm instead)
