(Section 3.8) A 200 foot tree is falling in the forest; the sun is directly overhead. At the
o
moment when the tree makes an angle of 30 with the horizontal, its shadow is
lengthening at the rate of 50 feet/sec. How fast is the angle changing at that moment ?
7) (Section 3.8) A trough is 10m long and its ends have the shape of equilateral triangles
(i.e. all three sides have equal length) that are 2m across, as shown in the diagram

while the other two sides are shortened in such a way that the figure remains a
rectangle with constant area A of 50 square inches. What is the rate of change of the
perimeter P when the length of an increasing side is 5in?
