How Fast Is The Area Of The Triangle Changing

  • #1

The question is:

The peak h of an equilateral triangle is increasing at a charge per unit of 3cm/min. How fast is the area changing when h is v cm? Give the answer to 2 decimal places.

How tin can I figure this question out?

Thanks!

The question is:

The height h of an equilateral triangle is increasing at a rate of 3cm/min. How fast is the area changing when h is v cm? Give the respond to 2 decimal places.

How can I effigy this question out?

Thank Y'all!

1. The expanse of a triangle is calculated by

\(\displaystyle a = \dfrac12 \cdot s \cdot h\)

2. In an equilateral triangle the sides are equal and the tiptop is calculated by:

\(\displaystyle h^two+\left(\frac12 s\right)^2 = s^ii~\implies~h^ii = \dfrac34 s^2~\implies~southward = \dfrac23 \sqrt{iii} \cdot h\)

3. Plug in this term instaed of southward into the equation of the expanse:

\(\displaystyle a(h)=\dfrac13 \sqrt{3} \cdot h^2\)

4. Calculate the outset derivation of a to get the speed of change:

\(\displaystyle a'(h) = \dfrac23 \sqrt{3} \cdot h\)

Now calculate a'(5):

\(\displaystyle a'(5) = \dfrac23 \sqrt{three} \cdot 5 ~\approx 5.77 \ square\ units\)

Isnt the derivative equation

da/dt=(1/three)sqrt3h * dh/dt

Isnt your equation missing the dh/dt with a last answer being 8.66?

earboth has given y'all \(\displaystyle \frac{da}{dh}\). To get the final reply you lot must multiply this past \(\displaystyle \frac{dh}{dt} = 3\) cm/min.
