The base of a right triangle is increasing at a rate of 3 meters per day and the height is increasing at a rate of 5 meters per day. When the base is 11 meters and the height is 23 meters, then how fast is the HYPOTENUSE changing? The rate of change of the HYPOTENUSE is meters per day. (Enter your answer as a integer or as a decimal number rounded to 2 places.)
