A rock is thrown into a still pond. The circular ripples move outward from the point of impact of the rock so that the radius of the circle formed by a ripple increases at the rate of 3 feet per minute. Find the rate at which the area is changing at the instant the radius is 7 feet.

A rock is thrown into a still pond. The circular ripples move outward from the point of impact of the rock so that the radius of the circle formed by a ripple
increases at the rate of 3 feet per minute. Find the rate at which the area is changing at the instant the radius is 7 feet.
When the radius is 7 feet, the area is changing at approximately square feet per minute.
