A rock is dropped in a pond and the ripples form circles in the water. if the area of each ripple is increasing at a rate of 20 square centimeters per second, then how fast is the radius changing when the radius is 5 centimeters
---------
A = pi(r^2)
---
dA = 2pi(r)dr
---
20 = 2pi(5)dr
dr = 2/pi cm per second
