The rate of change of the size of the diagonal is; 25.2 ft/s
By Pythagoras theorem;
The length, l of a diagonal of a rectangle whose sides have lengths x and y is;
In essence; the length of the diagonal is dependent on the length, x and y of the sides.
Therefore;
(dl/dt)² = (dx/dt)² + (dy/dt)²
where;
- (dx/dt) = 19 ft/s
- (dy/dt) = -15 ft/s
Therefore,
(dl/dt)² = 19² + (-15)²
(dl/dt)² = 361 + 225
dl/dt = √586
dl/dt = 25.2
Therefore, the size of the diagonal is changing at a rate of; 25.2 ft/s.

The answer is most likly to be B.
Given,
The coordinates of the point on the circle is (-4, -2).
The coordinates of the center of the circle is (-8, -10).
Reuired
The length of the center of the circle.
By using the distance formula, the radius of the circle can be calculated.
The distance formula is,
Substituting the value of the coordinates of the points,
![\begin{gathered} Distance=\sqrt{(-10-(-2))^2+(-8-(-4))^2} \\ =\sqrt{(-10+2)^2+(-8+4)^2} \\ =\sqrt{(-8)^2+(-4)^2} \\ =\sqrt{64+16} \\ =\sqrt{80} \\ =\sqrt{4\times4\times5} \\ =4\sqrt[]{5} \end{gathered}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbegin%7Bgathered%7D%20Distance%3D%5Csqrt%7B%28-10-%28-2%29%29%5E2%2B%28-8-%28-4%29%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%7B%28-10%2B2%29%5E2%2B%28-8%2B4%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%7B%28-8%29%5E2%2B%28-4%29%5E2%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%7B64%2B16%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%7B80%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D%5Csqrt%7B4%5Ctimes4%5Ctimes5%7D%20%5C%5C%20%3D4%5Csqrt%5B%5D%7B5%7D%20%5Cend%7Bgathered%7D)
