Mathilde
and
Eva
are
in
the
Baie
des
Citrons.
They
watch
a
cruise
ship
leave
the
port
of
Nouméa.
Mathilde
thinks
it
is
sailing
at
a
speed
of
20
knots.
Eva
estimates
that
he
is
sailing
at
more
like
10
knots.
They
then
decide
to
determine
this
speed
mathematically.
On
her
phone,
Mathilde
first
uses
the
stopwatch
function.
She
starts
the
stopwatch
when
the
bow
of
the
ship
passes
a
coconut
tree
and
stops
it
when
the
stern
of
the
ship
passes
the
same
coconut
tree
;
it
elapses
40
seconds.
Next,
Eva
searches
the
Internet
for
the
characteristics
of
the
boat.
Here’s

2
Who
is

Justify
the
answer.
Reminder
:
The

is
a

Sailing
at

means
traveling
