The range finder is 112 feet from the building ( adjacent ) and 131 feet from the top of the building ( hypotenuse ).
We will use the Pythagorean theorem:
x² = 131² - 112²
x² = 17,161 - 12,544
x² = 4,617
x  = √ 4,617
x = 67.948
The height of the building:
h = x + 3 = 67.948 + 3 = 70.948 ≈ 70.9 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
Answer: h = 70.9 feet.

Alex787 [66]

Minimizing the sum of the squared deviations around the line is called Least square estimation.

It is given that the sum of squares is around the line.

Least squares estimations minimize the sum of squared deviations around the estimated regression function. It is between observed data, on the one hand, and their expected values on the other. This is called least squares estimation because it gives the least value for the sum of squared errors. Finding the best estimates of the coefficients is often called “fitting” the model to the data, or sometimes “learning” or “training” the model.

Someone help me with this I will make you brain

Step-by-step explanation:

let's look at the full numbers under the square roots when bringing the external factors back in :

sqrt(9×9×2) - sqrt(3×3×7) + sqrt(8) - sqrt(28)

and let's present these numbers as the product of their basic prime factors

sqrt(3×3×3×3×2) - sqrt(3×3×7) + sqrt(2×2×2) - sqrt(2×2×7)

now we see that we have 2 pairs of square roots : 1 pair ends with a factor of 2, and one pair with a factor of 7.

let's combine these

sqrt (3×3×3×3×2) + sqrt(2×2×2) - sqrt(3×3×7) - sqrt (2×2×7)

and now we move the factors of 2 and 7 back out in front (of course, we need to apply the square root on these factors) :

9×sqrt(2) + 2×sqrt(2) - 3×sqrt(7) - 2×sqrt(7) =

= (9+2)×sqrt(2) - (3+2)×sqrt(7) = 11×sqrt(2) - 5×sqrt(7)

and that is the first answer option.
