The formula r=2√5L can be used to approximate the speed r, in MPH of a car that left skid marks of length L, in feet. How far will a car skid at 20 mph?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what you do is set r to be 20 like so, \[20=2\sqrt{5L}\] and solve for L

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Got it. The answer is 20 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you read the problem r = the speed of the car

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, not 75 feet
