A constant volume of cookie dough is formed into a cylinder with a relatively small height and large radius. When the cookie dough is placed into the oven, the height of the dough decreases as the radius increases, but it retains its cylindrical shape. At time t, the height of the dough is 8 mm, the radius of the dough is 18 mm, and the radius of the dough is increasing at a rate of 2 mm per minute. At time t, at what rate is the height of the dough decreasing with respect to time?

i think the answer is b.

step-by-step explanation:

not 100% sure though.

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.

answer: the distance

step-by-step explanation:

to calculate the distance d of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula d (x2 x1)2 (y2 y1)2. to calculate the midpoint of a line segment with endpoints (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) use the formula
