Answer:

The area of the rectangle is increasing at a rate of 84 square centimeters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area for a rectangle is given by the formula:

A=w\ell

Where <em>w</em> is the width and <em>l</em> is the length.

We are given that the length of the rectangle is increasing at a rate of 6 cm/s and that the width is increasing at a rate of 5 cm/s. In other words, dl/dt = 6 and dw/dt = 5.

First, differentiate the equation with respect to <em>t</em>, where <em>w</em> and <em>l</em> are both functions of <em>t: </em>

\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left[w\ell]

By the Product Rule:

\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{dw}{dt}\ell +\frac{d\ell}{dt}w

Since we know that dl/dt = 6 and that dw/dt = 5:

\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dt}=5\ell + 6w

We want to find the rate at which the area is increasing when the length is 12 cm and the width is 4 cm. Substitute:

\displaystyle \frac{dA}{dt}=5(12)+6(4)=84\text{ cm}^2\text{/s}

The area of the rectangle is increasing at a rate of 84 square centimeters per second.

Parallelogram ABCD is a rectangle.
svp [43]
Y = 3 because in a rectangle, the diagonals are ALWAYS congruent. so you would have:
5y - 2 = 4y + 1
-4y+2   -4y + 2
y        =        3
