Default Glide ratio with full brakes and side slip

Related, but sorta off topic.

I was flying a C-150 at a sorta busy regional airport with my CFI, I was number 7 in the pattern. Tower called me and asked if I could speed up because of a twin behind me, I answered, "cannot comply, full throttle as it is........ Permission to do a 360 to let the twin pass?" , reply was, "permission granted to do 360".

My instructor thought it was a good response by me to an odd situation.......
