  1. Ari finds how fast the water level rises in the cone shown when the water is 4 m deep. What is dh/dt, in m/min, to the nearest hundredth?

  2. Bo finds how fast the water level rises in the cone shown when the water is 2 m deep. What is dh/dt, in m/min, to the nearest hundredth?

  3. Esme finds how fast the water level rises in the cone shown when the water is 3 m deep. What is dh/dt, in m/min, to the nearest hundredth?

  4. Boat A is 3 km east of a dock, sailing east at 30 km/h; boat B is 4 km north, sailing north at 40 km/h. Kira finds how fast they separate, in km/h.

  5. Boat A is 6 km east of a dock, sailing east at 12 km/h; boat B is 8 km north, sailing north at 5 km/h. Luz finds how fast they separate, in km/h.

About this worksheet

Related rates. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can differentiate a relation in time, with a rate for each changing quantity.
  • I can solve for an unknown rate at one moment.
  • I can use similar triangles and Pythagoras to set up a related-rates problem.

Standard: none (beyond CCSS)

Words to know

related rates: Rates of quantities linked by one equation.

dr/dt: How fast r changes in time.

at that moment: Put in the numbers only after differentiating.

Common mistakes

Lost the 2 when differentiating πr² (it is 2πr).

Differentiated in the letter but did not multiply by its rate in time. Every changing quantity brings its own rate.

Lost the minus sign: a quantity that shrinks has a negative rate.

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with related rates?

Lost the 2 when differentiating πr² (it is 2πr).

Are these 12th grade math worksheets free to print?
