The area of the circular ripple after t second is

A = 25π t²

where A is in cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Circular ripple that travels outward at a speed of 5 cm per second.

It means that, the radius of the circular ripple increases at a seed 5 cm / s.

Therefore the radius of the circular ripple after t seconds is

r (t) = 5t

where r (t) is in cm.

We know,

The area of a circular object is = π r²

The area of the circular ripple after t second is

A = π (5t) ²

=25πt²

where A is in cm².
