IV. PROCEDURES
 A. Motivation
Imagine a water droplet falling into a still pond, producing ripples that propagate
away from the center. Ideally, the ripples are concentric circles which increase in radius
and also in area as time goes on. Thus the radius and area of a single ripple are changing
at rates that are related to each other. This means that if we know how fast the radius is
changing, we should be able to determine how fast the area is changing at any point in
time.

B. Development of the Lesson

Note that related rates concerns quantities which change, either increase or
decrease, with time, and which are related by an equation. Differentiating this equation
with respect to time gives an equation of relationship between rates of change of the
quantities involved.

In general, if we let x be a differentiable function which represents a quantity that

dx
changes with time t , then is the rate of change x wrt t .
dt

C. Application/Activity
Illustrate how related rates problems are solved by answering the following:
1. A water droplet falls onto a still pond and creates concentric circular ripples
that propagate away from the center. Assuming that the area of a ripple is
increasing at a rate of 2 cm 2 /s , find the rate at which the radius is increasing at
the instant when the radius is 10 cm.
2. A ladder 10 meters long is leaning against a wall. If the bottom of the ladder
is being pushed horizontally towards the wall at 2 m/s, how fast is the top of the
ladder moving when the bottom is 6 meters away from the wall?
3. An automobile traveling at the rate of 20 m/s is approaching an intersection.
When the automobile is 100 meters from the intersection, a truck traveling at the
rate of 40 m/s crosses the intersection. The automobile and truck are on
perpendicular roads. How fast is the distance between the truck and the
automobile changing two seconds after the truck leaves the intersection?
4. Water is pouring into an inverted cone at the rate of 8 cubic meters per
minute. If the height of the cone is 12 meters and the radius of its base is 6 meters,
how fast is the water level rising when the water is 4-meter deep?

D. Generalization
Enumerate steps is solving related rates problems.
 E. Evaluation
Answer the following by pair.
1. Starting from the same point, Reden starts walking eastward at 60 cm/s
while Neil starts running towards the south at 80 cm/s. how fast is the distance
between Reden and Neil increasing after 2 seconds?
2. A woman standing on a cliff is watching a motor boat through a telescope as
the boat approaches the shoreline below her. Of the telescope is 25 meters above
the water level an if the boat is approaching the cliff at 20 m/s, at what rate is the
acute angle made by the telescope with the vertical changing when the boat is 250
meters from the shore?
3. If two resistors with resistance R1 and R2 are connected in parallel, the total
1 1 1
resistance R in ohms is given by   . If R1 and R2 are increasing at 0.4
R R1 R2
ohms/s and 0.25 ohms/s, respectively, how fast is R changing when R1 = 600 ohms
and R2=400 ohms?
4. A baseball diamond has the shape of a square with sides 90 ft long. A player
60 ft from the second base is running towards third base the speed of 28 ft/min. At
what rate is the player’s distance from the home plate changing?

5. Water is being poured at the rate of 2 m 3 / min into an introverted conical

tank that is 12-meter deep with radius of 6 meters at the top. If the water level is
rising at the rate of 1/6 m/min and there is a leak at the bottom of the tank, how
fast is the water leaking when the water is 6-meter deep?
