rephrase: Hencetasked Hence To choose a kayak size from the provided table, you need to consider factors such as the maximum speed you want to achieve and the waterline length that corresponds to that speed. Let's say you want to choose a kayak size that allows for a relatively high maximum speed. Looking at the table, you see that the maximum speed in knots increases as the waterline length increases. Therefore, to achieve a higher maximum speed, you should choose a kayak with a longer waterline length. Based on the provided table, the kayak size with a waterline length of 18 feet has the highest maximum speed of 5.7 knots or 6.5 miles per hour. So, the kayak size chosen is the one with a waterline length of 18 feet
