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. ?

do we know of a relation that relates these?

Hmm, would you agree that the area of a circle is determined by the equation: pi r^2 ?
8 years ago
yes and the derivative of that is pi*2r
8 years ago
correct, except for we need to include an r' for the rate of the change of the radius
8 years ago
\[A = pi\ r^2\] \[A' = 2pi\ r\ r'\]

r' is told to us to be 24, and the radius = 80
8 years ago
A' = 2pi * 2 * 80 then

that 2 meant 24

A 14 foot ladder is leaning on a wall, slowly sliding down. If the base of the ladder is sliding away from the wall at 1.3 ft/second, how fast is the top sliding vertically along the wall when the bottom of the ladder is 9 feet from the wall? do i approach it the same way ?
