Question 1111057: The maximum speed K in knots is 1.35 times the square root of the length L in feet of the boat�s waterline.
From the information above, write an equation that relates the maximum speed K in knots to the length L in feet of a boat�s waterline.

Can someone please walk me through the steps on how to write this equation? I've seriously been stuck on it for the past few hours. Thanks in advance!

We translate "the square root of the length L in feet of the boat�s waterline" as
.

If "K in knots is 1.35 times that,
or .

NOTE:
I do not know what "the boat�s waterline" means,
but I know what "the square root of" means.
