Describe a way to check the correctness of a subtraction answer.
1 answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Well in general, we can represent subtraction as:
"z" represents the difference, and it really just represents x with y taken away. So if we were to "give back" this y value, we should get "x".
This means that:
So one way to check, is adding the value that's being subtracted (y value) and the difference (z value), this should get you the value that is being subtracted from (x value). If you don't get the original value that's being subtracted from (x-value) then you know the answer you got is wrong.

Answer:
Gregoire is correct; the diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the sphere.
Step-by-step explanation:
A sphere is a geometrical shape formed from a circle. Some of its parts are: diameter, center, radius circumference, etc.
The center of a sphere is a point at its middle. The diameter is a straight line, e.g a chord, that is drawn from one point on the circumference of a sphere to another point and passes through its center. While radius is a line that is from the center of the sphere to a point on its circumference.
A diameter is twice of a radius, so that:
Radius =
⇒ Diameter = 2 × Radius
Therefore with respect to the question, Gregoire is correct because a diameter is a chord that passes through the center of the sphere.
