The side of a square is increasing at the rate of 0.1 cm/sec. Find the rate of increase of its perimeter.
The perimeter of a square, with side a, is defined as
P(a)=4a – (1)
Given that
, we have to calculate ![]()
Differentiating (1) with respect to t, we get
![]()
Substituting the values, we get
![]()
