Answered by GPT-4o mini
To find out the speed of each boat in the America’s Cup race, in addition to the distance sailed, you also need to know the time it takes for each boat to complete that distance. Speed is calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \]

Therefore, both distance and time are essential to determine the boats' speeds.
