-- Find the length of the triangle's base.
-- Find the length of the triangle's height.
-- Multiply the base by the height.
-- One half of the product is the area.

It takes Lucas 3 hours to cycle from his home to his friends village but if travels 5 mph slower, it will take him 1.5 hours lon

Alika [10]

The distance from friend's village to Lucas's house is 45 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets assume the distance from Lucas home to friend's village is x miles

The time taken to cycle from Lucas home to friend's village is 3 hrs....t₁

The time taken if travelling at a 5 mph reduced speed is 1.5 hrs longer......t₂

t₂=4.5 hrs

t₁= 3 hrs

Speed for cycle in first instance, where t₁=3 hrs and distance is x miles

s₁=d/t = x/3 mph

Speed for cycle if travelling at a slower speed,

$s=\frac{x}{3}-5$

Time taken in the second instance when travelling at a slower speed

= $\frac{x}{\frac{x}{3}-5 }=4.5\\ \\\frac{3x}{x-15} =4.5\\\\\\3x=4.5(x-15)\\\\3x=4.5x-67.5\\\\\\67.5=4.5x-3x\\\\\\67.5=1.5x\\\\\\67.5/1.5=x\\\\\\45=x$
