A boat is held by a bow line that is wound around a bollard 4 metres higher than
the bow of the boat. If the boat is drifting away at the rate of 8 metres per minute,
how fast is the line unwinding when the bow is exactly 20 metres from the bollard?
how do i do this question

Let x be the horizontal distance from the bow to the bollard. Now derive an equation for the length of (infinitely taut) line from the bow to the bollard. Differentiate that to get its rate of change.
