A boat is being pulled toward a dock as shown in the figure to the right. If the rope is being pulled in at the rate of 2 feet per second, how fast is the distance between the dock and the boat decreasing when it is 2 feet from the dock? The distance between the dock and the boat is decreasing by (Round to the nearest thousandth as needed.) feet per second when the boat is 2 feet from the dock. Boat Rope 4 ft Dock
