Answer:

a-b

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference will usually be the first term subtracted by the second but it is the space/value between the numbers so technically you could just take the negative from b-a as -(b-a) and get the same value

6TH GRADE MATH SHOW WORK PLEASE
Luda [366]
The surface area would be all those areas combined. The shape has been split up into 6 smaller quadrilaterals, so we can easily solve from there. The leftmost one would be 3*4 = 12. The two rectangles beside it can be combined: 4*7 = 28, the one beside it would be: 3*4 = 12, and the last column would be 4*7 = 28. The last thing you need to do is add them together: 12+28+12+28 = 80.

Sissy wants to enlarge a picture of a princess so that she can put it on the wall in her daughter’s room. What will be the area
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

= 486 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear scale factor = Image distance/object distance

Therefore; Linear scale factor = OL'/OL

                                                 = 54/ 12

                                                 = 9/2

Area scale factor is equivalent to the square of linear scale factor

Thus;

Area scale factor = (9/2)²

                             = 81/4

Hence; 81/4 = Area of larger rectangle/Area of smaller rectangle

Area of the smaller rectangle = 4 ×6 = 24 in²

Therefore;

Area of enlarged or larger pic = 81/4× 24

                                                  <u>= 486 in²</u>
