Homework Statement

Homework Equations



V of cone = pi/3 (r^2)h

The Attempt at a Solution



I'm assuming this is correct and that dh/dt = 0.2 ft/min

I basically substituted a value of h in for the radius so I wouldn't be doing multi-var calculus and differentiated from there using the chain rule as needed.
