Question: The length ( ell ) , width ( w ) , and height ( h ) of a

The length \(\ell \), width \( w \), and height \( h \) of a box change with time. At a certain instant the dimensions are \(\ell=9\mathrm{~m}\) and \( w=h=4\mathrm{~m}\), and \(\ell \) and \( w \) are increasing at a rate of \(2\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\) while \( h \) is decreasing at a rate of \(8\mathrm{~m}/\mathrm{s}\). At that instant find the rates at which the following quantities are changing.
(a) The length of a diagonal. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
\[
\mathrm{m}/\mathrm{s}
\]
The length \ ( \ ell \ ) , width \ ( w \ ) , and
