Answer:

The length of rectangular is increasing at a rate 0.5714 meters per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Initial dimensions of rectangular box:

Length,l = 10 m

Width,w = 7 m

\dfrac{dA}{dt} = 8\text{ square meters per hour}\\\\\dfrac{dw}{dt} = 40\text{ centimeters per hour} =0.4\text{ meters per hour}

We have to find the rate of increase of length.

Area of rectangle =

A = l\times w

Differentiating we get,

\displaystyle\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{dl}{dt}w + \frac{dw}{dt}l

Putting values, we get,

8 = \dfrac{dl}{dt}(7) + (0.4)(10)\\\\\dfrac{dl}{dt}(7) = 8 -4\\\\\dfrac{dl}{dt} \approx 0.5714

Thus, the length of rectangular is increasing at a rate 0.5714 meters per hour.

$0.54 x 2.6 =$1.404  

$1.28 x 3.1=$3.968  

$1.404 rounds to $1.40

$3.968 rounds to $4

$4 = $ 1.40 = $5.40
