Answer:
dV/dt = 9 cubic inches per second
Explanation:
Let the height of the cylinder is h
Diameter of cylinder = height of the cylinder = h
Radius of cylinder, r = h/2
dh/dt = 3 inches /s
Volume of cylinder is given by

put r = h/2 so,

Differentiate both sides with respect to t.

Substitute the values, h = 2 inches, dh/dt = 3 inches / s

dV/dt = 9 cubic inches per second
Thus, the volume of cylinder increases by the rate of 9 cubic inches per second.
The stake, height and tether length of the tent form a right angle triangle where the tether length is the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras theorem:
length² = height² + (stake distance)²
length = √(8² + 2²)
length = 8.5 feet
