If they get unexpected results they could note what they could've done wrong or what they could change in a next trail of experiments. Or look back and see what different happened to they could've hypothesized. There could be many different courses on what to do next.
Just divide 36 by 48, and you will get that he made 75% of his free throws.
Since there is no picture shown, I just plotted the given data points myself. That is shown in the attached picture. The blue rectangle is rectangle PQRS while the orange one is rectangle JKLM. I believe there are some choices for this question but you forgot to include. Nevertheless, I will give my observations from the given figure.
The tile PQRS is bigger than tile JKLM. A rectangle is a two-dimensional shape that has two sets of equal parallel planes. Thus, its area is equal to the length multiplied by its width.
tile PQRS = (9-5)*(12-7) = 20 units²
tile JKLM = (6-4)*(10-5) = 10 units²
Tile PQRS is larger by 10 units².
To find the volume, multiply length, width, and height together
19 x 20.4 x 6 = 2325.6
2325.6 in³ is your answer
hope this helps
