The area AA and height hh of an equilateral triangle with side length ss are given by the formulas A=34s2 A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}s^2 and h=32s h = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}s . At the instant when the side length is s=8s = 8 centimeters, the area is increasing at a rate of 12312\sqrt{3} square centimeters per second. At what rate is the height of the triangle increasing at that instant, in centimeters per second?

A

332 \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}

B

32 \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

C

3 3

D

63 6\sqrt{3}
