Answer:
dr/dt = -2 cm/s.
Explanation:
The volume of a cone is given by:
(1)
- r is the radius
- h is the height
Let's take the derivative with respect to time in each side of (1).
(2)
We know that:
- dh/dt = 10 cm / s (rate increasing of height)
- dV/dt = 0 (constant volume means no variation with respect of time)
- r = 4 cm
- h = 10 cm
We can calculate how fast is the radius changing using the above information.
Therefore dr/dt will be:
The minus signs means that r is decreasing.
I hope it helps you!
