OK, let's try with no figure.  We have an isosceles triangle sides s,s, and b.

Opposite b is angle t.

Draw the altitude h to bisect t.  We have two right triangles, legs b/2 and h, hypotenuse s.  The angle opposite b/2 is t/2 so

sin(t/2) = (b/2)/s = b/2s

So we arrived at the first part,

b = 2s sin(t/2)

The area of a triangle with sides s,s and included angle t is

A = (1/2) s² sin t

l=2 \pi r
r=0.25 miles
l=2×\pi×0.25
 =0.5 × 3.14
 =1.57

120(minutes)÷2(miles)=60(minutes per mile)
60×1.57=94.2 minutes

a car reduced its speed in a ratio of 2 to 3 if the final speed was 90 km per hour then what was the original speed.​
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Orginal Speed is 135

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of final speed: original speed is

\frac{2}{3\\}

We know that 90 km is it final speed so, we set up a proportion

\frac{2}{3} =90/x

2x=270\\x=135
