A circular ripple in a pond is produced when a rock is dropped into the water. If the outer radius of the ripple is expanding at a rate of 24 cm/sec, at what rate is the area of the circular ripple changing when the radius is 80 cm. ?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

do we know of a relation that relates these?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

radius to area

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you said you needed help right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i dnt kno the relation

OpenStudy (amistre64):

Hmm, would you agree that the area of a circle is determined by the equation: pi r^2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and the derivative of that is pi*2r

OpenStudy (amistre64):

correct, except for we need to include an r' for the rate of the change of the radius

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[A = pi\ r^2\] \[A' = 2pi\ r\ r'\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

r' is told to us to be 24, and the radius = 80

OpenStudy (amistre64):

A' = 2pi * 2 * 80 then

OpenStudy (amistre64):

that 2 meant 24
