318/2=159
159-74=85
the length is 85 yards
To find the speed of the boats we will divide the distance by time.
From the graph we finde the boats' speeds as ;

And for the speed of the third boat, we will also divide the distance by time.

As you can see the speed of boat 3 (8 km/h) is more than boat 1 (7 km/h) and boat 2 (5 km/h).
Thus the third boat is faster than both of them.
The answer is B.
You can see the speed of boat 1 and 2 in the picture.
Y = -x2 + 5x + 36 <span>→ y = -(x2 -5x -36)
</span><span>→ y = -(x2 - 9x +4x - 36)
</span><span>→ y = -[x(x-9) + 4(x - 9)]
</span><span>→ y = -(x - 9)(x + 4)
Your answer would be </span>y=-(x-9)(x+4).
ΔACB and ΔMNB are similar. Therefore the corresponding sides are in proportion:

Substitute:
