The formula r=2√5L can be used to approximate the speed r, in miles per hour,
\n" ); document.write( " of a car that's left skid marks length L, in feet.
\n" ); document.write( " How far will a car skid at 20 mph?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Replace r with 20 in the given formula
\n" ); document.write( "\"2sqrt%285L%29\" = 20
\n" ); document.write( "Square both sides
\n" ); document.write( "4(5L) = 20^2
\n" ); document.write( "20L = 400
\n" ); document.write( "L = \"400%2F20\"
\n" ); document.write( "L = 20 mph with 20' skid mark
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
