Question
secondary 4 | A Maths
One Answer Below
Anyone can contribute an answer, even non-tutors.
Ans is 1/12 but I got 16(pie)r
Area of circle, A = πr²
dA/dr = 2πr
dr/dt = dA/dt x dr/dA
= dA/dt ÷ dA/dr
= 8 ÷ 2πr
Since circumference = 96cm and we know that circumference = 2πr,
dr/dt = 8cm²/s ÷ 96cm = 1/12 cm/s
See 1 Answer
Subsequently, we define the area of the circle and then evaluate dA/dr when r = the radius which you obtained earlier.
You are also given that dA/dt.
By the chain rule,
dA/dt = dA/dr * dr/dt
Sub in values of dA/dt and dA/dr.
