Question Number 37795 by Rio Mike last updated on 17/Jun/18
The side of a square is increasing  at a rate of 0.1cms^(−1) . Find the  rate of increase of the perimeter  of the square when the length of  side is 4cm.

p=4a  (dp/dt)=4((da  )/dt)    p=perimeter     a=side of square  (dp/dt)=4×0.1=0.4cm/sec
$${p}=\mathrm{4}{a} \\ $$$$\frac{{dp}}{{dt}}=\mathrm{4}\frac{{da}\:\:}{{dt}}\:\:\:\:{p}={perimeter}\:\:\:\:\:{a}={side}\:{of}\:{square} \\ $$$$\frac{{dp}}{{dt}}=\mathrm{4}×\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{4}{cm}/{sec} \\ $$
