Answer:

The perimeter of square is increasing by 3.76ft/min and then by 3.4 ft/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that area of square is increasing at a rate of 16 sq ft/min.

Given that final perimeter is 36ft

Perimeter of a square = 4 \times side = 36

So, side, a' = 9 ft

We know that area of a square is given by the formula:

A = side^2 = a^2 (If we let side = a units)

Change in area =

a'^2 - a^2\\\Rightarrow 9^2 - a^2 = 16\\\Rightarrow 81 - 16 = a^2\\\Rightarrow a = 8.06\ ft

So, side got changed from 8.06ft to 9 ft.

So, perimeter when side was 8.06 ft:

4 \times 8.06 = 32.24\ ft

Hence, increase in the perimeter when perimeter is 36 ft is = 36 - 32.24 = 3.76 ft

For finding Next increase:

area gets changed from 81 sq ft to 81+16 = 97 sq ft

So, new side = \sqrt{97} ft = 9.85 ft

Next increase in perimeter = 4 (New side - Old side)

= 4 (9.85 - 9)

= 3.4 ft/min

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

Your answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 = Five tenths

and

0.05 = five hundredths

This is because 0.5 is like 50 cents and 0.05 is like 5 cents

The rest are wrong because A: 0.05 simply can't be bigger than 0.5

B is wrong because they aren't equal to each other

and D is wrong because 0.05 + 0.5 = 0.55
