Suppose oil spills from a ruptured tanker and spreads in a circular pattern. If the radius of the oil spill increases at a constant rate of 2 m/s, exactly how fast (in m2/s) is the area of the spill increasing when the radius is 39 m?

Explanation:

The area of a circle of radius r is given by

[tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

Taking the derivative of A with respect to time t, we get

[tex]\dfrac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi r \dfrac{dr}{dt}[/tex]

We also know that

[tex]\dfrac{dr}{dt} = 2\:\text{m/s}\:\text{at}\:r = 39\:\text{m}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi (39\:\text{m})(2\:\text{m/s})= 490\:\text{m}^2\text{/s}[/tex]
