In our practical life, related rates are used in many areas including the medical field to measure tumor growth, recovery from cancer, etc. Suggest an original related rate problem with a theme in mind. Your problem should utilize a mathematical relationship (Pythagorean theorem, cone, trig ratios, etc.) like the related rates problems that we solved in our Reading and Written Assignments.

Please do not provide an already published example. It should be a unique example.
