In 1 min, Ivan travelled 15 m more than his sister.
15 m --> 1 min
480 m --> 32 min
Time taken = 32 min
Distance between school and library
= 80 x 32 = 2560 m
Please help me to solve the problem. Thanks in advance.

Area of triangle is :
0.5 x base x height
If the area is doubled, but the base stays the same, what can you say about the height?

Let the length of DE be of length "h" and length of EB be of length "b". Then,
CF = b,
FE = b,
EB = b.
Since the base of triangles ACF and DEB are the same, but the area of ACF is twice of DEB, we can say that the height of triangle ACF (which is AF) is twice the height of triangle DEB, (which is h cm). Hence, length if AF is
2 x h = 2h cm.
Area of ABC = 0.5 x AF x BC
= 0.5 x 2h x 3b
= 0.5 x 2 x 3 x h x b
= 6 x (0.5 x h x b)
= 6 x Area of triangle DEB
= 6 x 13.7cm^2
= 82.2cm^2 .

Normal day 60=D/T => 60T=D
Today 90=D/(t-5) => 90T-180=D
Since D is always the same,
60T=90T-180
180=30T
T=6
60=D/6
D=360m

Ok. I see where went wrong .90T-450 =d

Doesn't it is 60T = 90T - 450
30T = 450
T = 15
D = 60 * 15
= 900m

Benny Teo --- Can you please explain why is it 60T = 90T - 450 ? How do you get this ? Tks
