This is a neat little question. I don't think I've seen it before.
Step one
=======
Find c
3^2 + 4^2 = c^2
9 + 16 = c^2
c^2 = 25
c = 5
Step 2
====
Set up your first equation for b^2
a^2 + 4^2 = b^2 from triangle XWY
Step 3
=====
Set up your second equation for b^2
25 +b^2 = (a + 3)^2 from triangle XWZ
Step 4
=====
Put the results of Step 2 into step 3 and solve
25 + a^2 + 16 = (a + 3)^2 Collect the like terms on the left.
41 + a^2 = (a + 3)^2 Expand the brackets on the right
41 + a^2 = a^2 + 6a + 9 Transfer the 9 to the left.
32 + a^2 = a^2 + 6a Subtract a^2 from both sides.
6a = 32 Divide by 6
a = 32 / 6
a = 5 2/6
a = 5 1/3
100feet below is your answer I think
<u>Answer-</u>
<em>The </em><em>exponential model</em><em> best fits the data set.</em>
<u>Solution-</u>
x = input variable = number of practice throws
y = output variable = number of free throws
Using Excel, Linear, Quadratic and Exponential regression model were generated.
The best fit equation and co-efficient of determination R² are as follows,
<u>Linear Regression</u>

<u>Quadratic Regression</u>

<u>Exponential Regression</u>

The value of co-efficient of determination R² ranges from 0 to 1, the more closer its value to 1 the better the regression model is.
Now,

Therefore, the Exponential Regression model must be followed.
Answer:
There are 108 inches in 9 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, two unit multipliers mean we have to convert through two units before we arrive at our final answer so we can convert from feet to yards to inches!
We know that 3 feet equal a yard, right?
So we can divide 9 by 3 to get the amount that 9 feet translates to in yards.

So we are now done with our first conversion! Our second is going to be from yards to inches!
There are 36 inches in 1 yard so we should multiply 3 by 36 to get the amount in inches!
