Find the duration
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time : 9:00am to 10:15am
Duration: 1hour 15 mins or 1.25hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find difference in distance travelled between the two cyclists.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Difference in speed = 6km/h
1 hour = 6 km
1.25 hours = 7.5km
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the distance the cyclist traveled
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
42.5 - 7.5 = 35km
35km ÷ 2 = 17.5km
The slower cyclist traveled 17.5 km in the 1.25 hours
17.5 + 7.5 = 25 km
The faster cyclist traveled 25km in the 1.25 hours
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the speed of the slower cyclist
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.25 hour = 17.5 km
1 hour = 17.25 ÷ 1.25
1 hour = 14km
The cyclist was traveling at 14km/h
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the speed of the faster cyclist
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.25 hour = 25km
1 hour = 25 ÷ 1.25
1hour = 20 km
The cyclist was traveling at 20km/hour
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The speed were 14km/h and 20 km/h

Point p and point Q has to be the same point
To find the area, we need the height of the triangle first. We already have the base.
Let's find the height (BA)
tan = opposite / adjacent
tan 35 = BA / 12
BA = 12 * tan35
BA = 12 * 0.7002079283708176
BA = 8.402
Area of the triangle = 12*BA/2 = 6*BA = 50.412 square units
