Best Answer

To extrapolate is to predict future data from the trends in your current data. If a half inch of rain fell the day before yesterday, and one inch yesterday, and two inches today, we might extrapolate and conclude that three-and-a-half inches will fall tomorrow, and that a week from now two feet of rain will fall.
