The sides of an equilateral triangle are increasing at the rate of \(5 cm / sec\). The rate at which the area increases when the side is 20 cm , is

  1. A \(25 \sqrt{3} cm^2 / sec\)
  2. B \(50 \sqrt{3} cm^2 / sec\)
  3. C \(100 \sqrt{3} cm^2 / sec\)
  4. D \(15 \sqrt{3} cm^2 / sec\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(50 \sqrt{3} cm^2 / sec\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} s^2\) \(\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \cdot 2s \frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} s \frac{ds}{dt}\) \(\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} (20) (5)\) \(\frac{dA}{dt} = 50\sqrt{3} \, cm^2 / sec\)
