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 (1/12) m/h, and theta is increasing at the rate of pi/(180) radius/h, then find the rate in m^3 / h at which the area of the triangle is increasing when x=12m and theta=pi//4.
