Answer:

r = 6 mph and f = 11 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Representations:  

1) speed of faster cyclist:  f = r + 5

2) speed of slower cyclist:  r

Distances covered:

(r + 5)(5 hr) + r(5) = 55 mi (total distance covered)

Then 5r + 25 + 5r = 55, or, after reducing this equation:

r + 5 + r = 11, or

2r = 6

Then r = 6 mph and f = 11 mph

We see here in the diagram that the base is a. We know this because the height is perpendicular to it. We also know the height is bsin(C) which, when replace h for bsin(C) and a for the base, we get A=absin(C), which is the second option.
