Let $x$ be the length of one of the equal sides of an isosceles triangle,and let $\theta$ be the angle between them. If $x$ is increasing at the rate of $1/12 \ m/hr$,and $\theta$ is increasing at the rate of $\pi/180 \ \text{radians/hr}$,then find the rate in $m^2/hr$ at which the area of the triangle is increasing when $x = 12 \ m$ and $\theta = \pi/4$.

  • A
    $2^{1/2}\left( {1 + \frac{{2\pi }}{5}} \right)$
  • B
    $\frac{{73}}{2} \cdot 2^{1/2}$
  • C
    $\frac{3^{1/2}}{2} + \frac{\pi }{5}$
  • D
    $2^{1/2}\left( {\frac{1}{2} + \frac{\pi }{5}} \right)$
