Step 1
1 of 2

25t    \color{#4257b2} 25 t \;\; is the rate at which the area of the spill is changing at time t

The area of the spill increases by 2425tdx\color{#4257b2} \int_{2}^{4} 25 t \,dx

2425tdx=2524tdx=25t2224=25(42222)=25122=150\begin{align*} \int_{2}^{4} 25 t \,dx&=25 \int_{2}^{4} t \,dx\\\\ &=25\dfrac{t^2}{2}\bigg|_{2}^{4}\\\\ &=25\left(\dfrac{4^2-2^2}{2} \right)\\\\ &=25\cdot \dfrac{12}{2}\\\\ &=\color{#4257b2} 150 \end{align*}

Therefore, The area of the spill increases by  150ft2\; \color{#4257b2}\boxed{ 150 ft^2}
