The side of an equilateral triangle is increasing at the rate of \(3 cm / sec\).
The rate at which the area of the triangle is increasing, when the side is 4 cm , is:

  1. A \(6 cm^2 / sec\)
  2. B \(6 \sqrt{3} cm^2 / sec\)
  3. C \(\sqrt{3} cm^2 / sec\)
  4. D \(\frac{6}{\sqrt{3}} cm^2 / sec\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(6 \sqrt{3} cm^2 / sec\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} s^2\) \(\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} s \frac{ds}{dt}\) \(\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} (4) (3)\) \(\frac{dA}{dt} = 6 \sqrt{3} cm^2 / sec\)
