Let $x$ be the length of each of the equal sides of an isosceles triangle and $\theta$ be the angle between these sides. If $x$ is increasing at the rate $\frac{1}{12} \text{ m/hour}$ and $\theta$ is increasing at the rate $\frac{\pi}{180} \text{ rad/hour}$,then the rate at which the area of the triangle is increasing when $x=12 \text{ m}$ and $\theta=\frac{\pi}{4}$ is:

  • A
    $\left(\frac{\pi}{5}+\frac{1}{2}\right) \text{ m}^2/\text{hour}$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}\left(\frac{\pi}{5}+\frac{1}{2}\right) \text{ m}^2/\text{hour}$
  • C
    $2\left(\frac{\pi}{5}+\frac{1}{2}\right) \text{ m}^2/\text{hour}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{3}\left(\frac{\pi}{5}+\frac{1}{2}\right) \text{ m}^2/\text{hour}$
