2) As part of traffic accident investigations, the speed of a car involved can be approximately determined by checking actual sk

id marks (a) against test skid marks left at 30 mph (p) by the following formula: s= 30*√(a/p)
What speed was the car going if the investigators found the following?
a) a = 144 feet, p = 36 feet b) a = 153 feet, p = 68 feet

a) The speed of car was 60 mph.

b) The speed of car was 45 mph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

a = actual skid marks

p = test skid marks

Formula;

s=30*\sqrt{\frac{a}{p}}\\

a) a = 144 feet, p = 36 feet

Putting in formula;

s = 30*\sqrt{\frac{144}{36}}\\\\s=30*\sqrt{4}\\\\s=30*2\\\\s=60

The speed of car was 60 mph.

b) a = 153 feet, p = 68 feet

Putting in formula;

s=30*\sqrt{\frac{153}{68}}\\\\s=30*\sqrt{2.25}\\\\s=30*1.5\\\\s=45

The speed of car was 45 mph.

Problem 4:
Kipish [7]

Answer:

12cm and 16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of the right angle triangle  = 20cm

 let the other two sides be x and y;

 The difference;

                x  = y - 4

Problem:

Find x and y;

Solution:

According to the pythagoras theorem;

    x² + y² = 20²  ------ i

       x² + y² = 400 ----- i

and  x - y = 4 ---- ii

So;   x = 4 + y

Now input the value into equation (i);

  (y + 4)² + y² = 400

   (y+4)(y+4) + y² = 400

    y² + y² + 4y + 4y + 16 = 400

    2y² + 8y + 16 = 400

    2y² + 8y + 16 -400 = 0

   2y² + 8y - 384 = 0;

      y² + 4y - 192 = 0

Factorize the equation;

  y² + 16y - 12y - 192 = 0

  y(y + 16) - 12(y + 16) = 0

  (y-12)(y + 16) = 0

     y -12 = 0 or y+ 16 = 0

     y = 12 or -16

It is not realistic for the length of a body to be a negative value, so y= 12;

   since;

    x - y = 4,

    x = 4 + 12

    x = 16
