We square the residuals when using the least-squares line method to find the line of best fit because we believe that huge negative residuals (i.e., points well below the line) are just as harmful as large positive residuals (i.e., points that are high above the line).
<h3>What do you mean by Residuals?</h3>
We treat both positive and negative disparities equally by squaring the residual values. We cannot discover a single straight line that concurrently minimizes all residuals. The average (squared) residual value is instead minimized.
We might also take the absolute values of the residuals rather than squaring them. Positive disparities are viewed as just as harmful as negative ones under both strategies.

Down below is the equation graphed
For a right triangle, the sine of an angle is the ratio of the length of the side opposite to it and the hypotenuse and the its cosine is the ratio between the side adjacent to it and the hypotenuse. From the given choices, the angle being referred to is letter B. 45°.
