Can the witness' statement be correct? |

From Leria:
The model S= radical 30df describes the relationship between the speed of a car , the conditions of the road, and the length of the skid marks when the car slams on the brakes. S is the speed of the car in miles per hour,
d is the length of the tires' skid marks in feet and f is the coefficient of the friction for the road.
In an accident, a car makes skid marks 85 feet long. The coefficient of friction is 0.6. A witness says that the driver was traveling faster than the speed limit of 35 miles per hour. Can the witness's statement be correct? Use algebra to explain your answer.
