Two sides of a triangle have lengths 11 m and 14 m. The angle between them is increasing at a rate of 2°/min. How fast (in m/min) is the length of the third side increasing when the angle between the sides of fixed length is 60°? [Hint: Use the Law of Cosines.] (Round your answer to three decimal places.) 0 656 X m/min
