When a stone is dropped in a pond, ripples are formed and travel in concentric circles away from where the stone
was dropped. The equation of the least-squares regression line is log(Area) = 0.490+ 2.004 log(Time). What is the
predicted area of the circle, in cm², 4 seconds after the stone is dropped?
