They would both be on a different axis.
Area of a triangle=1/2(base x height)
Area=72, Base=8, Height=2x-3
Plug it in.
72=1/2(8 x (2x-3))
72=1/2(16x-24)
72=8x-12
84=8x
x=10.5
Answer:
1200 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let d represent one way distance.
We have been given that a plane averaged 800 mph on a trip going east, but only 400 mph on the return trip.
The time taken while going east would be
.
The time taken while returning back would be
.
Since the total flying time in both directions was 4.5 hr, so we will equate sum of both times with 4.5 as:

Make a common denominator:







Therefore, the one-way distance was 1200 miles.
