So this is not too hard, as with any math problem we write what we know.

Starting speed: 80km/h
Time from P to Q: 2.5h
Increase in speed: 20km/h (25% is dividing by 4)
Distance from Q to R: 150 kilometers

So let's find the speed and distance for both legs of the trip.

Speed for P to Q: 80km/h
Distance from PtoQ: 200km (2.5h * 80km/h)
Speed from Q to R: 100km/h (80 +20)
Distance from QtoR: 150km.

Now we multiply the speeds by their respective distances add them and then divide by the total distance.

((80 *200) + (100 * 150))/350 = ~88.57143

What other information do you need to prove INF=CAT by the ASA postulate
Simora [160]
D. NI = AC is the needed information to prove ΔINF = ΔCAT by the ASA Postulate.

For the triangles to be congruent by ASA, the measurements of two angles and one side must be proven congruent. Since two sets of congruent angles are already given, one side must also be congruent.
When proving congruency using ASA, the congruent parts of the triangles must be in this order: Angle, Side, Angle. So, you have to the side that is between the two sets of congruent angles.
