The area of an equilaterla triangle is increasing at a rate of 5 m^2/hr. find the rate at witch the height is chganging when the areai is:_________

Sagot :

The rate at which the height is changing is ( 5 / x ) m / hr

We know that,

Area of an equilateral triangle A = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] [tex]x^{2}[/tex] / 4

h = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] x / 2

Where,

x = Side

h = Height

Given that,

dA / dt = 5 [tex]m^{2}[/tex] / hr

h = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] x / 2

Differentiate both sides with respect to t

dh / dt = ( [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]  / 2 ) ( dx / dt )

dx / dt = ( 2 /  [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] ) ( dh / dt )

A = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] [tex]x^{2}[/tex] / 4

Differentiate both sides with respect to t

dA / dt = ( [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] / 4 ) ( 2x ) ( dx / dt )

5 =  ( [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] / 4 ) ( 2x ) ( 2 /  [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] ) ( dh / dt )

dh / dt = ( 5 / x ) m / hr

Rate of change of height is defined as the rate at which height of an object changes with respect to time. It is represented as dh / dt

Therefore, the rate at which the height is changing is ( 5 / x ) m / hr
