If a snowball melts so that its surface area decreases at a rate of 3 cm^2/min, find the rate at which the diameter decreases when the diameter is 11 cm.

The diameter is decreasing at the rate of 0.0434 cm/min.

Step-by-step explanation:

A snowball is spherical, so it's area is given by the following formula:

The radius is half the diameter, so:

If a snowball melts so that its surface area decreases at a rate of 3 cm^2/min, find the rate at which the diameter decreases when the diameter is 11 cm.

This is when

Applying implicit differentiation:

We have to variables(A and d), so:

The diameter is decreasing at the rate of 0.0434 cm/min.

6x = 48

i hope this . 6 cards each and a total of $48. dvide each side by 6 and you will have your answer.
