Isosceles triangles were used as the main geometric figure in the patches used to make a tent. The equal sides of these isosceles triangles were made to have a constant length of 6.7 ft. Varying sizes of the tent would mean a varying number of isosceles triangles needed. If the angle between the equal sides of the isosceles triangle increases at the rate of 8 rad/sec, determine the rate at which the area of the triangle is increasing when the angle is 75°. Enclose in boxes the function generated from this problem together with its derivative. These should be included in the summary of answers.

When the Radius Increases a. A rope is wrapped tightly around a wheel with radius of 2 feet. If the radius of the wheel is increased by 1 foot to a radius 3 feet, by how much must the rope be lengthened to fit around the wheel? b. Consider a rope wrapped around the Earths equator. We noted in Exercise 17 that the radius of the Earth is about 4000 miles. That is 21,120,000 feet. Suppose now that rope is to be suspended exactly 1 foot above the equator. By how much must the rope be lengthened to accomplish this? The Size of the Earth The radius of the Earth is approximately 4000 miles. a. How far is it around the equator?

Hint: The surface area of a sphere of radius r is given by 4r2.
