The answer to this question would be 2
Area=1/2bh
h=altitude
b=legnth of base
b is 3 times h
b=3h
divide by 3
b/3=h
area=1/2bh
subsitute b/3 for h
54=1/2(b)(b/3)
multiply bothsides by 2/1
108=b(b/3)
108=(b^2)/3
multipy both sides by 3
324=b^2
square root boh sides
18=b
legnth of base=18

Answer: 6 & 4.5 (m-per-h)
Step-by-step explanation:
- The basic formula used in this task is S=V*t, where S - distance, V - speed, t - time.
- the downstream speed is: V+Vc, where V - the speed of the boat in still water, Vc - the speed of the current.
- the upstream speed is: V-Vc.
- according to the described above the distance for downstream is S1=(V+Vc)*t1, where t1=10; the distance for upstream is S2=(V-Vc)*t2, where t2=70.
- for whole travel down- and upstream: S=S1+S2.
- Using these it is possible to make up the system of the equations:

V - the speed of the boat in still water - 6 miles per hour, Vc - the speed of the current - 4.5 miles per hour. All the details for the system of the equations are in the attachment.
x = 4.5 so it is 3/-8 = 4.5/12
