X is the diameter of a ponderosa pine in inches measured at breast height and y is a measure of volume number of board feet divided by 10. Test the model y = ax^b by plotting the transformed data. If the model seems reasonable, estimate the parameters a and b of the model graphically.

Brittany has designed four different birdcages, each with the same volume: a square pyramid, a cylinder, a cone, and a sphere. the zoo wants to use one of brittany’s designs but plans to change the volume of the cage. find the design change that would result in the birdcage with the greatest volume. a.) increase the area of the base of the square pyramid by a factor of ten. b.) increase the height of the cylinder by a factor of ten. c.) increase the radius of the cone by a factor of ten. d.) increase the radius of a sphere by a factor of ten.
