The radius of a circle is increasing uniformly at the rate of 3 cm/s. Find the rate at which the area of the circle is increasing when the radius is 10 cm.
We know that area of a circle (A) is A = πr2
Then, Rate of change of the area with respect to time is given by,
It is given that
Then,
Thus, when r = 10cm
Then
Therefore, the rate at which the area of the circle is increasing when the radius is 10 cm is 60π cm2/s.
