A 39-foot ladder is leaning against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder is being pulled away from the wall at the rate
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The rate of change of the area when the bottom of the ladder (denoted by b) is at 36 ft. from the wall is the following:

\frac{dA}{dt}|_{b=36}=-571.2\, ft^2/s

Explanation:

The Area of the triangle is given by A=h\times b where h=\sqrt{l^2-b^2} (by using the Pythagoras' Theorem) and b is the length of the base of the triangle or the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the wall.

The area is then

A=\sqrt{l^2-b^2}b

The rate of change of the area is given by its time derivative

\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left(\sqrt{l^2-b^2}\cdot b\right)

\implies \frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left(\sqrt{l^2-b^2}\right)\cdot b+\frac{db}{dt}\cdot\sqrt{l^2-b^2}

\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\frac{d}{dt}(l^2-b^2)\cdot b+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot \frac{db}{dt} Product rule

\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot 2\cdot b^2\cdot \frac{db}{dt}+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot \frac{db}{dt} Chain rule

\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=-\frac{1}{\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot b^2\cdot \frac{db}{dt}+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot \frac{db}{dt}

\implies\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{db}{dt}\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\cdot b^2+\sqrt{l^2-b^2}}\right)

In here we can identify b=36\, ft, l=39 and \frac{db}{dt}=8\,ft/s.

The result is then

\frac{dA}{dt}=8\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{39^2-36^2}}\cdot 36^2+\sqrt{39^2-36^2}}\right)=-571.2\, ft^2/s
