Answer:
tan 76 = 24/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions
tan theta = opp /adj
tan 76 = 24/8
To find the residual I would subtract the predicted value from the measured value so for x-value 1 the residual would be 2-2.6 = -0.6
2.98=100%
2.32/2.98 = 0.78
0.78*100=78%
The percent of decrease was 22%.
