Absolute value just man's the distance it is away from zero. |8| is 8 because it is 8 numbers away from 0.|-8| is also 8 for the same reason.

That's so easy that you won't believe it !

The absolute value of a number is just the size of it, ignoring whether it's
a positive or negative number.

Negative numbers go down. Positive numbers go up. Absolute value is
just how far the number goes, regardless of which direction.

Absolute value is how much money passed between you and the bank,
regardless of whether you put it in or took it out.

Absolute value is how much the airplane's altitude changed, regardless of
whether it climbed or descended. It's the length of your trip in the elevator,
regardless of whether you were going up or down.

The absolute values of +492 and -492 are the same.
Both numbers are 492 big.

Find the area A of the sector of a circle of radius 90 in formed by central angle 1/6 radian.

Answer:

2121 $in^{2}$ Rounded to the nearest inch.

Step-by-step explanation:

A = $\pi r^{2}$ Is the formula for a circle, but we only have a portion of a circle so we will have to adjust the formula for a part of the circle.

A = $\frac{\frac{\pi }{6} }{2\pi }$ $\pi r^{2}$ The $\frac{\pi }{6}$ is the part of the circle and the whole circle is 2 $\pi$

$\frac{\frac{\pi }{6} }{2\pi }$ is the same as $\frac{\pi }{6}$ ÷ $\frac{2\pi }{1}$ Which is the same as $\frac{\pi }{6}$ x $\frac{1}{2\pi }$ Which is the same a $\frac{1}{12}$
