A circle with radius 5cm has its radius increasing at the rate of 0.2m/s. What will be the corresponding increase in the area?
-
2Ο
- 5Ο
- Ο
- 4Ο
The correct answer is: A
Explanation
Area of the circle (A) = \(\pi r^{2}\)
\(\frac{\mathrm d A}{\mathrm d r} = 2\pi r\)
\(r = 5cm\); \(\frac{\mathrm d r}{\mathrm d t} = 0.2\)
\(\frac{\mathrm d A}{\mathrm d t} = \frac{\mathrm d A}{\mathrm d r} . \frac{\mathrm d r}{\mathrm d t}\)
\(\frac{\mathrm d A}{\mathrm d t} = 2\pi \times 5 \times 0.2 = 2\pi\)
