This is true, because the LSRL does get its line when minimizing the sum of the squares difference between the observed (x value) and predicted (y-at)
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
the building would be 280 feet (judging on how this is worded.)
Step-by-step explanation:
you are already 100 meters from the base ( bottom) of the building so you add 180 as you are 180 ft from the top of the building. 100 + 180 is equal to 280. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Seems to be an arythmetic sequence
common difference is 3 (increases by 3 each time)
an=a1+d(n-1)
d=3
a1=8
an=8+3(n-1)
an=8+3n-3
an=3n+5
        
             
        
        
        
You need 710 ft of fencing.
