Here is a link to the question:Calculus related rates question, Help please!?
A lighthouse is fixed 170 feet from a straight shoreline. A spotlight revolves at a rate of 12 revolutions per minute, (24 rad/min ), shining a spot along the shoreline as it spins. At what rate is the spot moving when it is along the shoreline 11 feet from the shoreline point closest to the lighthouse?
I got the answer: 4080π(sec(0.0646)^2) but it seems to be wrong, I don't understand what I am doing wrong, any help?
