The width at the instant the width is decreasing at .5 units/sec is increasing 5 units per/sec.
How to find change in length or width?
Given:
Area of triangle = 100 units²
Area of triangle = Length * Width
Length * Width = 100
dl / st = 2 unit/sec
a) Find length
when dw/dt = -0.5 unit/sec
l * w = -0.5
l dw/dt + w dl/dt = 0
100/w (-0.5) + w(2) = 0
(- 50+ 2w²) / w = 0
2w² = 50
w² = 25
w = 5
Hence, the width at the instant the width is decreasing at .5 units/sec is increasing 5 units per sec.
