Homework Statement
A stone dropped into a still pond sends out a circular ripple whose radius increases at a constant rate of 3 ft/s. How rapidly is the area enclosed by the ripple increasing at the end of 10 s?
Homework Equations
How do I even set up implicit differentiation?
The Attempt at a Solution
I know that dr/dt is 3 ft/s and that I'm looking for dA/dt, but I don't know where t = 10s goes into that equation, especially when I don't have the radius... Do I multiply time times dr/dt to get radius at 10 seconds and go from there?
HELP!
