first speed --- x mph

return speed -- x+16 mph

6/x + 6/(x+16) = 1

times each term by x(x+16)

6(x+16) + 6x = x(x+16)

x^2 + 4x - 96 = 0

(x-8)(x+12) = 0

x = 8 or x is a negative

her first speed was 8 mph

her return speed was 24 mph

check:

6/8 + 6/24 = 1 , that's good!

A circle with radius 4 inches is inscribed in an equilateral triangle. Find the area of the triangle.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The inscribed circle has its center at the point of intersection of the angle bisectors, which also happen to be the medians. Hence the altitude of the triangle is 3 times the radius, or 12 inches.

The side length of this triangle is 2/√3 times the altitude, so the area is

... Area = (1/2)·b·h = (1/2)·(24/√3 in)·(12 in)

... Area = 48√3 in² ≈ 83.1384 in²
