Solve each related rates problem. Be sure to include units in your answers
1) A hypothetical square grows so that the length of its sides are increasing at a rate of 3 m/min.
How fast is the area of the square increasing when the sides are 12 m each?
2) A hypothetical square grows so that the length of its diagonals are increasing at a rate of 5
m/min. How fast is the area of the square increasing when the diagonals are 10 m each?
3) Oil spilling from a ruptured tanker spreads in a circle on the surface of the ocean. The area of
the spill increases at a rate of 16π m²/min. How fast is the radius of the spill increasing when
the radius is 14 m?
4) An observer stands 400 ft away from a launch pad to observe a rocket launch. The rocket
blasts off and maintains a velocity of 500 ft/sec. Assume the scenario can be modeled as a right
triangle. How fast is the observer to rocket distance changing when the rocket is 300 ft from
the ground?
