Answer

$\frac{dS}{dt} = 8\pi r \frac{dr}{dt}$

Work Step by Step

Surface area of a sphere (S) is determine by the equation $4\pi r^2$ so S = $4\pi r^2$ on differentiation of the surface area with respect to time, we get: $\frac{dS}{dt}$ = $\frac{d4\pi r^2}{dt}$ we obtain: $\frac{dS}{dt} = 8\pi r \frac{dr}{dt}$ the final answer: is $\frac{dS}{dt} = 8\pi r \frac{dr}{dt}$
