Here is the question:
I have posted a link there to this topic so the OP can see my work.
The length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 9 cm/s and its width is increasing at a rate of 5 cm/s...?
The length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 9 cm/s and its width is increasing at a rate of 5 cm/s. When the length is 14 cm and the width is 12 cm, how fast is the area of the rectangle increasing?
Using a=lw, we have
(dA/dt) = l * (___?___) + (___?___) * (dl/dt)___3.9, 2
