We know area of triangle =
In triangle ABC , AB is the base and BC is the height
Now we find the distance between A and B
Distance formula is
A(0,3), B(7,3)
Distance AB =
= = 7
B(7,3), C(7,7)
Distance BC =
= = 4

<h3>Rate of the boat in still water is 70 km/hr and rate of the current is 15 km/hr</h3><h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given that,
A motorboat travels 165 kilometers in 3 hours going upstream and 510 kilometers in 6 hours going downstream
Therefore,
Upstream distance = 165 km
Upstream time = 3 hours
<h3><u>Find upstream speed:</u></h3>Thus upstream speed is 55 km per hour
Downstream distance = 510 km
Downstream time = 6 hours
<h3><u>Find downstream speed:</u></h3>Thus downstream speed is 85 km per hour
<em><u>If the speed of a boat in still water is u km/hr and the speed of the stream is v km/hr, then</u></em>
Speed downstream = u + v km/hr
Speed upstream = u - v km/hr
Therefore,
u + v = 85 ----- eqn 1
u - v = 55 ----- eqn 2
Solve both
Add them
u + v + u - v = 85 + 55
2u = 140
u = 70
<em><u>Substitute u = 70 in eqn 1</u></em>
70 + v = 85
v = 85 - 70
v = 15
Thus rate of the boat in still water is 70 km/hr and rate of the current is 15 km/hr
