Problem 88
Speed of a Skidding Car. Police can estimate the speed at which a car was traveling by measuring its skid marks. The function given by $$r(L)=2 \sqrt{5 L}$$ can be used, where \(L\) is the length of a skid mark, in feet, and \(r(L)\) is the speed, in miles per hour. Find the exact speed and an estimate (to the nearest tenth mile per hour) for the speed of a car that left skid marks (a) 20 ft long; (b) 70 ft long; (c) 90 ft long. See also Exercise \(102 .\)
