The height of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 2 centimeters/minute while the area of the triangle is increasing at a rate of 3.5 3.5 square centimeters per minute. at what rate is the base of the triangle changing when the height is 10 10 centimeters and the area is 80 80 square centimeters?

The altitude of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 1 cm/min while the area of the triangle is increasing at a rate of 20 cm2/min. At what rate is the base of the triangle changing when the altitude is 10 cm and the area is 100 cm2. = 2, namely, the base of the triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 cm/min.

The answer would be 13.5 minutes.
