A trimaran boat, with a top speed of 48 knots, won the tournament cup in 2010. Its top speed is 6 knots more than 3.5 times the top speed of the winner monohull in the 2007
tournament. Find the top speed of the monohull in the 2007 tournament.

12 knots

Step-by-step explanation:

Top speed of the monohull in the 2007 tournament is x, then:

Answer is 12 knots

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

21
