The volume of a lower pyramid is 1000 cubic units. The volume of a truncated pyramid is calculated as 3000 times the height plus 10 cubed minus 1000. Taking the derivative of this with respect to time and setting it equal to the derivative of volume with respect to time gives an equation that is solved for the rate of change of height. The surface area of the top of the truncated pyramid is calculated and differentiated with respect to time to give an equation relating the rate of change of surface area to the rate of change of height.
