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.

11th grade geometry:
Aliun [14]

Answer:

<em>The perimeter is 72 units and the area is 149 square units.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

\triangle SBA has coordinates S(15,-8),B(-2,21) and A(0,0)

Using the distance formula.........

Length of side SB = \sqrt{(15+2)^2+(-8-21)^2}= \sqrt{17^2+(-29)^2}= \sqrt{1130}

Length of side BA= \sqrt{(-2)^2+(21)^2}= \sqrt{445}

Length of side AS =\sqrt{(15)^2+(-8)^2}=\sqrt{289}=17

So, the perimeter of the triangle will be:  (SB+BA+AS)= \sqrt{1130}+ \sqrt{445}+17 =71.71... \approx 72 units.   <em>(Rounded to the nearest unit)</em>

The height of the triangle for the corresponding base SB is 8.89 units.

<u>Formula for the Area of triangle</u>,  A= \frac{1}{2}(base\times height)

So, the area of the \triangle SBA will be:  \frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{1130}\times 8.89)= 149.42... \approx 149 square units.   <em>(Rounded to the nearest unit)</em>
