Answer:

The value of rate of which the base is changing \frac{dB}{dt} = - 3 \frac{cm}{s}

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 20 cm^{2}

height = 4 cm

\frac{dH}{dt} = 2 \frac{cm}{sec}

\frac{dA}{dt} =  2 \ \frac{cm^{2} }{sec}

we know that area of the triangle is given by

A= \frac{1}{2} B H

B = \frac{2A}{H}

B = \frac{2 (20)}{4}

B = 10 cm

Rate of change of area is given by

\frac{dA}{dT} = \frac{1}{2} [B\frac{dH}{dt} + H \frac{dB}{dt} ]

4 =  0.5 [10 × 2 + 4 \frac{dB}{dt} ]

\frac{dB}{dt} = - 3 \frac{cm}{s}

This is the value of rate of which the base is changing.
