Answer

the rate of change in volume of cube is = $54\frac{in^3}{s}$

Work Step by Step

We are given that the rate of surface area change is $\frac{dA}{dt}=72\frac{in^2}{s}$ and length of cube is $x=3 in$ $A=6x^2$ on differentiate above with respect to t: $\frac{dA}{dt}=12x\frac{dx}{dt}=12\times3\frac{dx}{dt}$ so $\frac{dx}{dt}=2\frac{m}{s}$ volume of cube $V=x^3$ rate of change in volume of cube is: $\frac{dV}{dt}=3x^2\frac{dx}{dt}=3\times3^2\times2=54\frac{in^3}{s}$ thus the rate of change in volume of cube is = $54\frac{in^3}{s}$
