If we fit the data as calories as a function of wt loss/week, we need to arrange the data first from lowest to highest wt loss/week lbs and calories. Then, the set of points can be plotted in a graph and a graphical method of line fitting can be used. Curve fitting programs (which are also in the calculator) can be used. The result is:
y = -266.5741x + 2246.5116

The value of R² is 0.7109. The fit is not very good since R² is quite far from 0.99.

The figures abov are similar find the missing length show your work 5in by 3in 3in by x
IgorLugansk [536]
Make each a ratio, and set them equal to each other.

Larger rectangle = 3/5
smaller rectangle = x/3

3/5 = x/3

cross multiply

3/5(5)(3) = x/3(3)(5)

3(3) = x(5)

9 = 5x

Isolate the x, divide 5 from both sides

9/5 = 5x/5

x = 9/5

x = 1.8

1.8 in. is your answer

hope this helps
