Answer:
⅓ m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a square is:
A = s²
Take derivative of both sides with respect to time:
dA/dt = 2s ds/dt
Given that dA/dt = 6 m²/s and s = 9 m:
6 m²/s = 2 (9 m) ds/dt
ds/dt = ⅓ m/s
The Formula of the area of a square: A = bh or A = s^2
Solution:
~Take derivative of both sides
da/dt = 2s * ds/dt
~Use given values (6m^2/s and 9m)
6 = 2(9) * ds/dt
~Simplify
1/3m/s = ds/dt
Best of Luck!
