equilateral triangle is increasing at a rate of √3 cm/min. find the rate at which its area increasing when its edge is 12 cm long

4 answers

a = √3/4 s^2
da/dt = √3/2 s ds/dt

Now just plug in your numbers
3 cm which its area increasing when its edge is 12 cm long
huh? what does that mean??? Your alleged question is so poorly written it's incoherent. As I said, just plug in your numbers:

da/dt = √3/2 * 12 * √3 = 18
rude.
