Question

Suppose that the radius of a circle increases at a constant rate of 0.25 cm/sec. When the radius of this circle is 16 cm, the area of the circle increases at a rate of

Answer 1

Answer:

8πcm²/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius of the circle increases at a rate of dr/dt = 0.25cm/sec

The radius of the circle r = 16cm

The area of the circle increases at a rate of dA/dt = ?

Area of a circle = πr²

We take the derivative with respect to t

dA/dt = 2πrdr/dt

dA/dt = 2 π (16)(0.25)

dA/dt = 8πcm²/sec
