Now that you know the total skid distance (3.8 ft), use the skid-distance formula to find how fast the car was going before it started skidding. How fast was the car traveling before it started skidding? s= sqrt (30 * drag factor * skid distance * braking efficiency) s= speed
drag factor= 0.90
skid distance= 3.8
braking efficiency= 80% or 0.80

  9.1 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the numbers in the formula and do the arithmetic.

  s = √(30×drag factor×skid distance×braking efficiency)

  s = √(30×0.90×3.8×0.80) = √82.08 ≈ 9.06

The car was traveling about 9.1 mph before it started skidding.

what is the question? i am guessing you are looking for the area.

to find an area, you have to do length x width.

in this case, it would be 12 ft x 4 ft = 48 sq. ft

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct
