Let at any instant of time $t$, the radius of the circular wave be $r$ and the area enclosed be $A$, then $A = \pi {r^2}$

…(i)
Differentiating (i) w.r.t. $t$, we have
$\Rightarrow \cfrac{{dA}}{{dt}} = \pi (2r)\cfrac{{dr}}{{dt}} = 2\pi (8cm)(5{\rm{cm/sec}})$

$= 80\pi {\rm{c}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{/sec}}$

Therefore, rate of increase of enclosed area $= 80\pi {\rm{c}}{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{/sec}}$.
