Question 197693: Sailboat speed. The sail area-displacement ratio S provides
a measure of the sail power available to drive a
boat. For a boat with a displacement of d pounds and a
sail area of A square feet S is determined by the formula
S = 16Ad 2/3.
a) Find S to the nearest tenth for the Tartan 4100, which
has a sail area of 810 square feet and a displacement of
23,245 pounds.
b) Write d in terms of A and S.

I think this formula is wrong, it should be
S =
;
a) Find S to the nearest tenth for the Tartan 4100, which
has a sail area of 810 square feet and a displacement of
23,245 pounds.
S =
S =
S = 15.9

b) Write d in terms of A and S.
S =
Cross multiply
S* = 16A
=
d =
