Answer: 10 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to solve a system of equations.

The formula to calculate a triangle area is A = (b.h)/2

where b is the base and h is the height. This will be our first equation.

Since the height is 4 inches greater than the base, the second equation will be: h = b+4

We replace h and the value of the area (70 square inches) in the first equation, and we solve it by using the cuadratic equation formula:

70 = (b . (b+4)) / 2

70 . 2 = b² + 4b

140 = b² +4b

0 = b² + 4b - 140

The roots of this polynomial are -14 and 10. Since a distance can't be negative, the length of the base is 10 inches.

Each side of a square is increasing at a rate of 6 cm/s. At what rate is the area of the square increasing when the area of the
siniylev [52]

<u>Solution:</u> 48cm/s^2

<u>Working:</u>

A = s^2

Derivate s^2 (as it is area formula) which gives

dA/dt = 2s dL/dt

dL/dt = 6cm/s

Hence,

2(6) = 12

Side: 4cm

Hence,

dA/dt = (4)(12) = 48cm/s^2
