225 ft X A building that is 225 feet tall casts a shadow of various lengths as the day goes by. An angle of elevation is formed by lines from the top and bottom of the building to the tip of the shadow, as seen in the figure above. Find the rate of change of the angle of elevation- do dx when x 185. 0' (185) = radians per foot. Round to five decimal places.

Ripples in a pond When a stone is thrown into the center of a pond, the ripples spread out in a circular pattern, moving at a rate of 3 feet per second. If the stone is dropped at a point (0,0) in the illustration, when will the ripple reach the seagull floating at the point (15,36)?
A driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?
A bottle of soda with a temperature of 71 Fahrenheit was taken off a shelf and placed ina refrigerator with an internal temperature of 35 .After ten minutes, the internal temperature of thesoda was 63F . Use Newton’s Law of cooling towrite a formula that models this situation. To thenearest degree, what will the temperature of thesoda be after one hour?
Velocity of a Ferris Wheel Use Figure 7 as a model of the Ferris wheel called Colossus that is built in St. Louis in 1986. The diameter of the wheel is 165 feet. A brochure that gives some statistics associated with Colossus indicates that it rotates at 1.5 revolutions per minute and also indicates that a rider on the wheel is traveling at 10 miles per hour. Explain why these two numbers, 1.5 revolutions per minute and 10 miles per hour, cannot both be correct.
