Answer

change in surface area $\frac{dA}{dt}=-180\frac{m^2}{min}$ and $\frac{dA}{dt}=-135\frac{m^3}{min}$

Work Step by Step

The given side of cube is $x=3m $ and $\frac{dx}{dt}=-5\frac{m}{min}$ for surface area: $A=6x^2$ on diffrentiating above: $\frac{dA}{dt}=12x\frac{dx}{dt}$ $\frac{dA}{dt}=12\times 3\times{-5}=-180\frac{m^2}{min}$ for rate of change in volume: $V=x^3$ differentiating with respect to t: $\frac{dV}{dt}=3x^2\frac{dx}{dt}=3\times3^2\times(-5)=-135\frac{m^3}{min}$ so change in surface area is $\frac{dA}{dt}=-180\frac{m^2}{min}$ and $\frac{dA}{dt}=-135\frac{m^3}{min}$
