Context
13. The maximum speed, s (in knots, or nautical miles per hour) that a sailboat can travel is related to the boats

length, L (in feet). This relationship can be modeled by the equation L = s 2 .

What is the maximum speed of a sailboat that is 32 feet long?

14. You and your friend are playing tennis. Your friend lobs the ball high into the air, hitting it 3 feet above the
court with an initial velocity of 40 feet per second. You back up and prepare to hit an overhead smash to win
the point.
Use the formula h = 16t 2 + vt + s to solve the problem.
h = height of the object at any time t, v = initial velocity, s = initial height, and t = time in second
a. If you plan to hit the smash when the ball falls to a height of 8 feet above the court, how long do you have to
prepare for the shot?

b. If you miss, how long would it take for the ball to hit the ground?

15. The area of the given rectangle is 77 square feet. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
