You know from trigonometry that AB = 15 units, so the area of the larger triangle ACB is (1/2)*15*15 = 112.5 units^2.
Then the area of triangle ADE is
.. (112.5 -62.5) = 50 . . . . units^2
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. if the mass of coffee worth $10 is 'x', then its worth is 10x, and the worth of the mixture is 5(x+20);
2. using the previous item it is possible to write the next equation:
5(x+20)=4*20+10*x; ⇒ x=4.
3. the required mass is 4 pounds.
Let b and s be the velocity of the boat and stream respectively....
3(b-s)=27
b-s=9
b=9+s we will use this in the second equation....
2(b+s)=30
b+s=15, now use b found above in this to get:
9+s+s=15
2s+9=15
2s=6
s=3, and since from earlier b-s=9, b=9+s so
b=12
So the speed of the boat is 12mph and the stream is 3 mph
