Tim is investigating the relationship between the number of years since a tree was planted and the height of the tree in feet. His data are shown in the table. Years Since Tree was Planted vs. Height of Tree
Years since tree was planted, x
Height of tree in feet, y

Using a regression calculator, what is a good prediction for the height of the tree when it is 100 years old?

A calculator screen. A 2-column table with 6 rows titled Data. Column 1 is labeled x with entries 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 17, 25, 42, 47, 54, 69. The regression equation is y almost-equals 7.36 x + 3.08; r almost-equals 0.998.

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
