The height of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 3 cm/min while the area of the triangle is increasing at a rate of 11 square cm/min. At what rate is the base of the triangle changing when the height is 5 centimeters and the area is 10 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

The Area of a triangle is expressed as:

A = 1/2 bh

b is the base of the triangle

h is the height of the triangle

Given

dh/dt = 3cm/min

dA/dt = 11cm²/min

height h = 5cm

Area = 10cm²

Get the base first

10 = 1/2b(5)

20 = 5b

b = 20/5

b = 4cm

Differentiating the area with respect to time

A(b, h) = 1/2 bh

According to product rule

dA/dt = 1/2{b dh/dt + h db/dt}

Substitute the given parameters and get db/dt

11 = 1/2{4(3)+5db/dt}

11 = 1/2{12+5 db/dt}

11 = 6 + 5/2 db/dt

11-6 = 5/2 db/dt

5 = 5/2 db/dt

1 = 1/2 db/dt

cross multiply

2 = db/dt

db/dt = 2cm/min

Hence the rate at which the base of the triangle is changing id 2cm/min

step-by-step explanation:

consider an orange peel: if you want to try and lay it flat, you have to stretch it, we know exactly how things are being stretched or squashed at any given point. we have many different map projections because each has different patterns of some projections can even preserve certain features of the earth without
