15. When a car accident occurs on a dry tar road, police use the function S = 1300 to estimate the speed, S, in miles per hour that the car was traveling based on
the distance the car skidded, d, in feet.
a. Solve this equation for d.
b. Using your equation from part (a), determine the length of a skid mark left by
a car traveling at 56 mph.
c. Why would the police prefer to have the function written in the form
S= = 130d, rather than in the form you wrote for part (a)?

i got 142 as my answer

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
