The least-square regression line has a slope of:
m=(nΣxy-ΣyΣx)/(nΣx²-ΣxΣx)
and a y-intercept of:
b=(Σy-mΣx)/n
In this case: n=7, Σxy=4899, Σy=391, Σx=85, Σx²=1153 so
m=(7(4899)-391*85)/(7(1153)-85*85))=1058/846
b=(391*846-85*1058)/(7*846)=34408/846
So the line of best fit is:
y=(1058x+34408)/846 and if we approximated this as your answers see to have done....
y=1.25x+40.67
Not 100% sure but I think that it is 14.6
I don't know the area of a parallelogram off the top of my head but you can use the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangle and add those. The area of the triangle is 1/2*base*height and use the pythagorean theorem to find the base. 3² + b² = 5²; 9 + b² = 25; b² = 16; b = 4. The area of the triangle is 1/2*4*3 or 6 in. Since there are two of them, the total area of the triangles are 12 in. The area of the rectangle is length*width or (12 - 4) * 3 which is 8 * 3 or 24in. Add these areas together to get 36in total
Area of lower rect + area of upper + 4 * sides rect areas
lower = upper rect
2 * rect1 + 4 * rect2
Area = 2 * 6 * 11 + 2 * 11 * 9 + 2 * 9 * 6 = 438 ft^2
or simply just take 2 ( and multiply each two sides.
