Using the line of best fit, it is found that the prediction of the forearm length of a man whose height is of 72 in is of 19.417 in.

<h3>What does the line of best fit state?</h3>

It states that the predicted forearm length of a person of height x is given by:

y = -0.2967 + 0.2738x.

In this problem, the height is of x = 72 in, hence:

y = -0.2967 + 0.2738(72) = 19.417 in.

A 7-meter by 7-meter square is reduced so that each side is half as long as the original.
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. 7m ÷ 2 = 3.5m
  2. Part A: New square is 3.5-meter by 3.5-meter
  3. The original square's perimeter is 7x4=28-meter.
  4. The new square's perimeter is 3.5x4=12-meter
  5. Part B: The ratio is 12:28 or 3:7
  6. The original square's area is 7²=49 meter²
  7. The new square's area is 3.5²=12.25 meter²
  8. Part C: The ratio is 49:12.25

Nitella [24]

h(t) = -16t2 + 64

Time to reach ground:

h(t) = 0

-16t2 + 64 = 0

Solve for t, keeping only the positive solution.

Time to fall 36 ft:

Since it is dropped from 64 ft, its height after falling 36 feet is 64-36=28 ft.

28 = -16t2 + 64

-16t2 + 36 = 0
