A piece of land is shaped like a right triangle. Two people start at the right angle at the same time, and walk at the same spee

d along different legs of the triangle while spraying the land. If the area covered is changing at
5 m2/s, how fast are the people moving when they are 5 m from the right angle? (Round approximations to two decimal places.)

Answer:

1 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

the area of the triangle = A = ¹/₂ab

where a is the distance covered by the first person and b is the distance covered by the second person. since they walk at the same speed, then a = b, so our formula can be changed to A = ¹/₂x²

now we find the derivative of both sides:

dA/dt = ¹/₂ ⋅ dx²/dt

dA/dt = ¹/₂ ⋅ 2x ⋅ dx/dt

dA/dt = x ⋅ dx/dt = x ⋅ velocity

we are told that x = 5 m, and dA/dt = 5 m²/s

velocity = dA/dt / x

velocity = 5 m²/s / 5 m = 1 m/s
