A vertical wall makes an angle of radian measure ?r with the ground. A ladder of length 20 ft is leaning against the wall and its top is sliding down the wall at the rate of 3 ft/sec. How fast is the area of the triangle formed by the ladder, the wall and the ground changing when the ladder makes an angle of T radians with the ground.
