Answer:

The diameter decreases at a rate of -0.0477 cm/min when it is 10 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a snowball:

A snowball has a spheric format, which means that it's surface area is given by:

A = 4\pi r^2

In which r is the radius, which is half the diameter. In function of the diameter, the area is given by:

A = 4\pi(\frac{d}{2})^2 = \pi d^2

Solving the question:

To solve this question, we have to implicitly derivate the area in function of t. So

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2d\pi\frac{dd}{dt}

Snowball melts so that its surface area decreases at a rate of 3 cm2/min

This means that \frac{dA}{dt} = -3

Find the rate at which the diameter decreases when the diameter is 10 cm.

This is \frac{dd}{dt} when d = 10. So

\frac{dA}{dt} = 2d\pi\frac{dd}{dt}

-3 = 20\pi\frac{dd}{dt}

\frac{dd}{dt} = -\frac{3}{20\pi}

\frac{dd}{dt} = -0.0477

The diameter decreases at a rate of -0.0477 cm/min when it is 10 cm.
