This is a question that involves multiplication. If 1 baseball weighs 5 ounces, and you're trying to find out how many 6 weigh, multiply 5x6. The answer is 30. Hope this helps.
hope it helps you...............
Let the side length of the square be x, then A = x^2
but diagonal (z) = sqrt(2x^2)
z^2 = 2x^2
x^2 = 1/2 z^2
Thus, A = 1/2 z^2
dA/dz = 1/2 (2z) = z
The rate of change is z.
When z = 4, the rate is 4.
