Let area of sheet be A. Let x be the length of one side of the sheet.
Initial length of square = 8 cm = 80mm
So x = 80 + 0.2t, where t is time in seconds.
dx/dt = 0.2
(Actually it was already given that dx/dt = 0.2 mm/s)

A = x²
dA/dx = 2x

dA/dt = dA/dx × dx/dt
dA/dt = 2x (0.2) = 0.4x
dA/dt = 0.4(80 + 0.2t)
dA/dt = 32 + 0.08t

When t = 5,
dA/dt = 32 + 0.08(5) = 32 + 0.4 = 32.4
Rate of change of area after 5 seconds = 32.4 mm/s

Alternatively,

A = x²

A = (80 + 0.2t)²

A = 6400 + 32t + 0.04t²

dA/dt = 32 + 0.08t

When t = 5,

dA/dt = 32 + 0.08(5) = 32 + 0.4 = 32.4

Rate of change of area after 5 seconds = 32.4 mm/s
