The area of a circular ripple on a pond is increasing at 10 cm2s−110\,\text{cm}^{2}\text{s}^{-1}. Find the rate at which the radius is increasing when the radius is 5 cm5\,\text{cm}. (a) 2π cm s−1\dfrac{2}{\pi}\,\text{cm s}^{-1} (b) 5π cm s−1\dfrac{5}{\pi}\,\text{cm s}^{-1} (c) 1π cm s−1\dfrac{1}{\pi}\,\text{cm s}^{-1} (d) 15π cm s−1\dfrac{1}{5\pi}\,\text{cm s}^{-1}
