Answer

Rate of change in volume of cube is $54\dfrac{in^3}{s}$

Work Step by Step

Since, we are given that the rate of surface area change is $\dfrac{dA}{dt}=72\frac{in^2}{s}$ and length of cube is $x=3$ inch $A=6x^2$ on differentiate above with respect to t: $\dfrac{dA}{dt}=12x\dfrac{dx}{dt}=12\times3\dfrac{dx}{dt}$ This implies$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2\frac{m}{s}$ Now, Volume of cube is $V=x^3$ Thus, the rate of change in volume of cube will be: $\dfrac{dV}{dt}=3x^2(\dfrac{dx}{dt})=3\times3^2\times2=54\frac{in^3}{s}$ Hence,the Rate of change in volume of cube is $54\dfrac{in^3}{s}$
