In Example 1, what is the rate of change of the area when the radius is 200 m? 200 m?
Example 1 Spreading Oil
An oil rig springs a leak in calm seas, and the oil spreads in a circular patch around the rig. If the radius or the oil patch increases at a rate of 30m/hr, how fast is the area of the patch increasing when the patch has a radius of 100 meters (Figure 3.77)?

- 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?arrow_forwardIf you travel 100 miles in two hours, then your average speed for the trip is Average speed=_________=________arrow_forwardYOUR TURN A 25ft ladder is placed against a building.
