Answer:

about 21.3

Step-by-step explanation:

I found the hypotenuse value by doing the Pythagorean theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2.

"a" and "b" are the values of the legs, and "c" is the value of the hypotenuse. So, "a" is 14 and "b" is 16.

14^2+16^2=c^2

196+256=452.

Now, I found the square root of 452. The square root of 452 is 21.26029163. This value rounded to the nearest tenth is 21.3.

In conclusion, the length of the hypotenuse rounded to the nearest tenth is 21.3 inches.

If a snowball melts so that its surface area decreases at a rate of 3 cm2/min, find the rate (in cm/min) at which the diameter d

grin007 [14]

Answer:

The diameter decreases at a rate of 0.053 cm/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of an snowball

The surface area of an snowball has the following equation:

$S_{a} = \pi d^2$

In which d is the diameter.

Implicit differentiation:

To solve this question, we differentiate the equation for the surface area implictly, in function of t. So

$\frac{dS_{a}}{dt} = 2d\pi\frac{dd}{dt}$

Surface area decreases at a rate of 3 cm2/min

This means that $\frac{dS_{a}}{dt} = -3$

Tind the rate (in cm/min) at which the diameter decreases when the diameter is 9 cm.

This is $\frac{dd}{dt}$ when $d = 9$ . So

$\frac{dS_{a}}{dt} = 2d\pi\frac{dd}{dt}$

$-3 = 2*9\pi\frac{dd}{dt}$

$\frac{dd}{dt} = -\frac{3}{18\pi}$

$\frac{dd}{dt} = -0.053$

The diameter decreases at a rate of 0.053 cm/min.
