Let A be the area, b be the breadth and ℓ be the length of the rectangle. Given: dtdA=−5,dtdℓ=2,dtdb=−3 We know, A=ℓ×b ⇒dtdA=ℓ⋅dtdb+b⋅dtdℓ=−3ℓ+2b⇒−5=−3ℓ+2b. When b=2, we have −5=−3ℓ+4⇒ℓ=39=3m
Consider a rectangle whose length is increasing at the uniform rate of 2 ~m / sec, breadth is decreasing at the uniform rate of 3 ~m / sec and the…
