 <span>To minimize the perimeter you should always have a square. 
sqrt(289) = 17 
The dimensions should be 17 X 17 

To see , try starting at length 1, and gradually increase the length. 
The height decreases at a faster rate than the length increases, up until you reach a square. 

Or if you want to use algebra, Say the width is 17-x 
Then the length is 289/(17-x) 

Now, this is bigger than 17+x, as shown here: 
289/(17-x) > 17+x 
289 > 289 - x^2 
which is true. 
so the perimeter would be bigger than 2 * (17- x + 17 + x) = 2 * (2 * 17) = 4 * 17 

Again, the dimensions should be a square. 17 X 17.</span>

The given diagram is a scatter plot in which temperature is plotted against number of visitors.

As the number of visitors is rising with the rise in temperature, its a positive correlation.

As joining the dots is going to give a web of line segments, it is not going to be helpful to understand the trends.

The best way to understand the trends is to make the line of best Fit in such a way that the number of dots on either side are approximately the same.

I have attached the figure for your reference of the line of best fit.

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

if ABC ~ DEF than AB ~ ED, AC ~ DF, and CB ~ FE

The ratio of AB to ED is given as 5/30 = 1/6

For AC ~ ED the ratio would be same x/42 = 1/6 cross multiply it

6x = 42

x = 7
