The altitude of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 2.5 2.5 centimeters/minute while the area of the triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 2 square centimeters/minute. At what rate is the base of the triangle changing when the altitude is 7.5 7.5 centimeters and the area is 96 96 square centimeters

The base of the triangle is decreasing at a rate 8 centimeter per minute.      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Instant height = 7.5 cm

Instant area = 96 square centimeters

Area of triangle =

where b is the base and h is the height of the triangle.

Rate of change of area of triangle =

Putting values, we get,

Thus, the base of the triangle is decreasing at a rate 8 centimeter per minute.

tube or goog would be a great resource to with that question

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
