Suppose oil spills from a ruptured tanker and spreads in a circular pattern. If the radius of the oil spill increases at a constant rate of 1 m/s, how fast is the area of the spill increasing when the radius is 30 m?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = 188.5 m^2/s[/tex]

Explanation:

As we know that area of the circle at any instant of time is given as

[tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

now in order to find the rate of change in area we will have

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

here we know that

rate of change of radius is given as

[tex]\frac{dr}{dt}= 1 m/s[/tex]

radius of the circle is given as

[tex]r = 30 m[/tex]

now we have

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi (30)(1)[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = 60\pi[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = 188.5 m^2/s[/tex]
