Every few years, sailboats of different countries compete in a race for a trophy called the America's Cup. The boats sail over the same distance. What, besides the distance, is needed to find out the speed of each boat in the race? a the size of each boat in the race b the skill of the crew of each boat in the race c the time it takes each boat to finish the race d the speed of the wind during the race

To find out the speed of each boat in the race, besides the distance, the necessary information is the time it takes each boat to finish the race and the speed of the wind during the race. The size of each boat and the skill of the crew might affect the overall performance of the boat but are not directly related to determining the speed of each boat in this context.
r u sure?
Apologies for the confusion earlier. To find out the speed of each boat in the race, you would need both the distance and the time it takes each boat to finish the race. The speed of the wind during the race, although it can affect the boat's performance, is not directly necessary to calculate the speed of each boat.
