The side of an equilateral triangle is increasing at the rate of .... cm/sec. Find the rate of increase of its perimeter.

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle, with side a, is defined as

P(a)=3a – (1)


Given that , we have to calculate


Differentiating (1) with respect to t, we get



Substituting the values, we get
