B=kS^2
43=k(35^2) =1225k
k = 43/1225
B=43/1225)S^2
B= (43/1225)(65^2)
B= 43(65^2)/35^2
B =43(13^2)/7^2
B=43(169)/49
B= 148.3061224 feet = braking distance when speed=65 mph
B= about 148 feet

asked 05/19/22the braking distance of a car varies directly as the square of the speed of that car. Assume that a car traveling 35 miles per hour can stop 43 feet after the brakes are applied. how long is the braking distance for the same care traveling at 65
