It looks something like:

....../\........

...../..\.......

..../.D.\.....

.../-----\...

../ S... T \..

.---------.

Where D is Distance, S is Speed and T is Time.

When given two of the three, cover over the missing one and the triangle tells you how to calculate it. Given:

  • Distance & Speed to find Time
Covering T leaves D/S meaning Time = Distance over (or divided by) Speed

Time = Distance/Speed

= Distance ÷ Speed

  • Distance & Time to find Speed
Covering S leaves D/T meaning Speed = Distance over (or divided by) Time

Speed = Distance/Time

= Distance ÷Time

  • Speed & Time to find Distance
Covering D leaves ST meaning Distance = Speed times Time

Distance = Speed x Time

What are the three formulas for the speed triangle?

Speed = Distance/TimeTime = Distance/SpeedDistance = Speed*TimeSpeed = Distance/TimeTime = Distance/SpeedDistance = Speed*TimeSpeed = Distance/TimeTime = Distance/SpeedDistance = Speed*TimeSpeed = Distance/TimeTime = Distance/SpeedDistance = Speed*Time


How do you find out time taken?

D= Distance S= Speed T= Time Speed = Distance/Time Distance = Speed x Time Time Taken = Distance/Speed


Describe the relationship between the variable of time distance and speed?

Time = (distance) divided by (speed) Distance = (speed) multiplied by (time) Speed = (distance) divided by (time)


How long will it take to travel 205 km?

That depends on the speed. If you know the speed, use the formula distance = speed x time. Solving for time: time = distance / speed.That depends on the speed. If you know the speed, use the formula distance = speed x time. Solving for time: time = distance / speed.That depends on the speed. If you know the speed, use the formula distance = speed x time. Solving for time: time = distance / speed.That depends on the speed. If you know the speed, use the formula distance = speed x time. Solving for time: time = distance / speed.


How are distance time and speed related?

Speed=distance/time. Speed is in meters per second if distance is in meters, and time is in seconds. Using simple algebra, the equation can be rearranged to solve for a missing variable (speed, distance, or time). therefore: distance=speed x time time= distance/speed
