You built the wedges for a bean bag game. The goal is to toss the bean bags into the open hole. The final step is to paint these. You are only painting the top of the game, the outer sides of both wedges, and the back sides of both wedges. Estimate the surface area of these parts of the game. Use 3.14 to approximate pi. A) 1,748 square inches
B) 2,036 square inches
C) 2,064 square inches
D) 2,612 square inches

they are simplified

step-by-step explanation:

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
