Speed is the rate of distance over time.

<em>The speed of the boat is 13mph south-west</em>

Given

<em />v_1 = 12mph<em> --- west</em>

<em />v_2 = 5mph<em> -- south</em>

<em />

The speed is illustrated with the attached image

Because both speeds act at a diagonal, the speed (v) of the boat is calculated using Pythagoras theorem as follows:

v^2 = 12^2 + 5^2

v^2 = 144 + 25

v^2 = 169

Take square root

v = \sqrt{169

v = 13

<em />

<em>Hence, the speed of the boat is 13mph south-west</em>

Probability is defined as the number of desired outcomes over all possible outcomes. Lets say each second is one possible outcome. This means there is 30 different desired outcomes out of 60 possible outcomes. The probability therefore is 30/60, simplified to 1/2.
