To answer this question, we need to know the driver's reaction time. Let's assume the reaction time is 1.5 seconds, which is a typical average for most drivers.

To find how far the car traveled during the reaction time, we can use the formula:

distance = speed × time

Plugging in the given speed of 72.08 feet per second and the assumed reaction time of 1.5 seconds, we get:

distance = 72.08 ft/s × 1.5 s

distance = 108.12 ft

Therefore, the car traveled 108.12 feet during the driver's reaction time. Rounded to two decimal places, the answer is 108.12.
