Answer:
3.3912cm³/min
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the circular plate = πr² where r is the radius of the plate.
dA/dt is the rate at which the plate is increasing
since dA/dr = 2πr and dr/dt = 0.01cm/min
dA/dt = dA/dr * dr/dt
dA/dt = 2πr dr/dt
dA/dt = 2π(54)(0.01)
dA/dt = 2π(0.54)
dA/dt = 3.3912cm³/min
Hence the rate at which the plates area is increasing when the radius is 54cm is 3.3912cm³/min
