At the instant when the side length of the cube is 4 feet, what is the rate of change of the surface area of the cube? Round your answer to three decimal places (if necessary). Answer Attempt 1 out of 2 $\frac{\mathrm{ft}^{2}}{\sec }$ Submit Answer

Solution

Step 1 :Given \( \frac{dV}{dt} = 190 \) cubic feet per second and side length \( s = 4 \) feet

Step 2 :Volume of a cube \( V = s^3 \)

Step 3 :Surface area of a cube \( A = 6s^2 \)

Step 4 :Differentiate volume with respect to time \( t \) to find \( \frac{ds}{dt} \): \( \frac{dV}{dt} = 3s^2 \frac{ds}{dt} \)

Step 5 :Solve for \( \frac{ds}{dt} \): \( \frac{ds}{dt} = \frac{\frac{dV}{dt}}{3s^2} = \frac{190}{3(4)^2} = \frac{190}{48} = 3.958 \) feet per second

Step 6 :Differentiate surface area with respect to time \( t \) to find \( \frac{dA}{dt} \): \( \frac{dA}{dt} = 12s \frac{ds}{dt} \)

Step 7 :Plug in values of \( s \) and \( \frac{ds}{dt} \): \( \frac{dA}{dt} = 12(4)(3.958) = 190.368 \) square feet per second

Step 8 :\(\boxed{\frac{dA}{dt} = 190.368} \) square feet per second
