"a^2+b^2=c^2"

Now implicitly differentiate that

relationship

"2ada\/dt+2bdb\/dt=2c dc\/dt"

b=40


c=50


da/dt=3


db/dt=o, because it is not change.


we can find "a" using the pythagorean theorem

"a^2+40^2=50^2"

"a=\\sqrt{50^2-40^2}=30"

We can know plug into our differentiated equation and solve it.

"30x3=50 dc\/dt"

"dc\/dt=90\/50=1.8 ft\/sec"
