A D/L ratio is calculated by dividing a boat's displacement in long tons (2,240 pounds) by one one-hundredth of the waterline length (in feet) cubed.

RossThe ratio of sail to boat length can vary depending on the type of boat and its intended use. In general, sailboats typically have a sail area that is around 1.5 to 2.5 times the boat's length. However, this ratio can be higher for racing sailboats and lower for smaller recreational sailboats.

How do you calculate the sail area to displacement ratio for a sailboat?
Just divide a boat's sail area in square feet by its wetted surface area in square feet (SA/WS = SA ÷ WS),
Is a sail on a boat an acute angle?
it is not a acute it is aobtuse angle.
What is the relationship between edge length ratios area ratios and volume ratios of similar figures with various scale factors?
Area ratio = (edge-length ratio)2 Volume ratio = (edge-length ratio)3 Volume ratio = (area ratio)3/2
How do you 'find the ratio of its length to its perimeter?
To find the ratio of the length of a shape to its perimeter, you would divide the length by the perimeter. For example, if the length of a rectangle is 4 units and its perimeter is 12 units, the ratio would be 4/12 or 1/3. This ratio represents the proportion of the length to the total distance around the shape.
What is the ratio of the width of our national flag to its length?
The length and breadth of our National Flag is in the ratio of 3 : 2.
