Changing dimension in a rectangle - Math Help Forum so where do i start for this problem? the length l of a rectangle is decreasing at the rate of 2 cm sec while the width w is increasing at the rate of 2 cm sec when l=12cm and w= 5cm, find the rates of change of area, perimeter, and the lengths of the diagonals of the rectangle
Perimeter of a circle as a limit of inscribed regular sided polygon Show that the perimeter Pn of an n-sided regular polygon inscribed in a circle of radius r is P n = 2 n r sin (π n) Find the limit of Pn as n approaches ∞ My attempt: The sum of the interior angles is π (n 2) If we apply the cosine law to find the length of each side of the n-sided regular polygon we find c 2 = 2 r 2 2 r 2 cos (4 π n π)
