Can someone help me sorry to bother.If a car skids to a stop over the distance of 80 feet, find the speed of the car. Use the formula,s=√24d where s = speed and d =distance. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Question

phi · Answer

I assume the equation is
$$s=\sqrt{24d} $$
with the d inside the square root.
They are asking what was the speed of the car when it started skidding.
according to their formula
speed = sqrt(24*80)

we can type
sqrt(24*80)=
in google's search window to get 43.82 (rounded)
to round to the nearest whole number, look at the tenths place. It is 8, so round up to 44
speed = 44
