If the circumference of the circle is changing at the rate of 5 cm/s t...
To find the rate of change of the area of a circle, we need to use the formula for the area of a circle and differentiate it with respect to time.
The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, where A is the area and r is the radius.
Given that the radius is 6 cm and the circumference is changing at a rate of 5 cm/s, we can use the formula for the circumference of a circle to find the rate of change of the radius.
The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2πr, where C is the circumference and r is the radius.
Differentiating this equation with respect to time, we get dC/dt = 2π(dr/dt).
Given that dC/dt = 5 cm/s, we can solve for dr/dt.
5 cm/s = 2π(dr/dt)
dr/dt = 5 cm/s / (2π)
dr/dt ≈ 0.7957 cm/s
So, the rate of change of the radius is approximately 0.7957 cm/s.
Next, we can differentiate the formula for the area of a circle with respect to time to find the rate of change of the area.
dA/dt = d(πr^2)/dt
Using the chain rule, we can differentiate this equation as follows:
dA/dt = 2πr(dr/dt)
Substituting the given values, we have:
dA/dt = 2π(6)(0.7957)
dA/dt ≈ 30 cm^2/s
Therefore, the rate of change of the area of the circle is approximately 30 cm^2/s. Hence, the correct answer is option 'D'.
