Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

Let's say d = distance, r = speed and t = time

We know the distance formula is :

distance = speed x time

d = r multiplied by t

d = rt

If the speed is 15km/hr, the time would be 30 minutes shorter.

Since d = rt,

90 = 15t

t = 6,

This means the time taken for the bus to complete the journey at 15km/hr would be 6hrs.

Originally though, the journey takes 30 minutes longer.

So we can say t = 6.5 hrs , and we know d = 90

Now we use the distance formula:

d = rt, since we want to find the original speed, we want to find r.

Speed = distance/time

r = d/t

r = 90/6.5

r = 180/13

Therefore the original speed is 180/13 km/hr

Divide the irregular figure into rectangles
Area of rectangle = l * w
4 * 5 = 20 in^2
5 * 12 = 60 in^2
7 * 11 = 77 in^2
Add them together
20 + 60 + 77 = 157 in^2

X=3.8

Sin41/2.5 = sin90/x
Sin90 x 2.5 = sin41 x X
Sin90 x 2.5/ sin41
