Answer:
6.2 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given two angles and an opposite corresponding side. To solve for an unknown side, we can use the law of sines.
Cross multiplying and solving will get you this:
Which can simplify to:
Which putting into a calculator gets you:
So the line PR is 6.2 units long.

Linear Regression
Step-by-step explanation:
We can draw any best line of fit, as long as it is <em>reasonable</em> around the points that are given.
We can just take 2 points and use slope formula and Slope-Intercept Form to find the equation for the best line of fit.
Using Linear Regression, we can determine the <em>true</em> best line of fit using graphing utilities.
<u>Finding the best line of fit</u>
<em>Define 2 points</em>
Point (21600, 205)
Point (27000, 290)
<em>Find slope m</em>
<em>Find equation</em>
Slope-Intercept Form tells us that our slope <em>m</em> = and our y-intercept
.
Setting this as function f(x), we can see from the graph that it is extremely accurate (Blue line).
<u>Using Linear Regression</u>
Depending on the graphing calc you have, the steps may be different.
Using a graphing calc, we can use statistics and determine the <em>best</em> best line of fit.
When we determine the values, we should see that our equation would be g(x) (Green Line).

Here, we may use Geometric Progression
The sequence follows as:
27, 18,12,...
The first term (a)= 27
27/18 = 18/12
common ratio = 1.5
Let fourth term be x
Therefore , 12/x = 1.5
=> x= 12/1.5 = 8
