The function S(D) = V2Dcan be used to approximate the speed S, in miles per hour, of a car that has left skid marks of length D, in feet. How fast would a car have been traveling if it left a skid mark that is 106.02 feet long? Round to the nearest integer. Clearly state your final answer in a complete sentence with proper grammar and correct spelling.
