is 15 cm, how fast is the side length decreasing?
7) An open cylinder has a radius of 20 cm. Water is poured into the cylindrical at the rate of 40 cm3/s.
Find the rate of increase of the height of the water.
8) A certain water tank is an inverted cone with height 12 feet and top diameter 8 feet. The water is

water in the tank is 6 feet deep?

and bottom and a 5 cm margin at each side. What overall dimensions will minimize the amount
paper used?
3. A rectangular plot farmland will be bounded on one side by a river and on the other three sided by
a single-strand electric fence. With 800 m of wire at your disposal, what is the largest area you can
enclose? What are its dimensions?
