SOLUTION: The wind speed s in miles per hour can be modeled by the formula s=150 sqrt (p/a) , where a is the area of a sale in square feet and p is the pressure of the wind on the sale in po

Question 1016054: The wind speed s in miles per hour can be modeled by the formula s=150 sqrt (p/a) , where a is the area of a sale in square feet and p is the pressure of the wind on the sale in pounds per square feet. Determine the area of a sail if the wind speed is 75 mph and the pressure is 20 pounds per square feet.
So far I have 75= 150 sqrt (20/a)

Square both sides

Multiply both sides by

area of sail is 80 ft2
