Question
A stone is thrown into a calm pond and circular ripples are formed at impact. If the radius expands at the rate of 0.5 feet/second, how fast is the circumference and the area of the ripples growing when the radius is 3 feet?
Answers
C = 2πr
dC/dt = 2π dr/dt
A = πr^2 dr/dt
dA = 2πr dr/dt
you have the values to plug in for both rates.
