The absolute value of a number will never be negative because absolute value is the distance from zero, so it will always be positive. For example, you can't be -6 away from 0, you are 6 away from 0.

The absolute value basically means the distant from zero. Distant is never negative, you don't say 'Bob walked negative 2 miles from his house'. For example: The absolute value of -5 is 5 because if you count the intervals from zero to -5, there are 5 spaces.

Find the circumference and the area of a circle with diameter 7 cm.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

21.98 is the circumference because is it 7 pi 7 times 3.14. For the area though it is 38.48 because you need to get the radius of the circle and you divided 7 by 2 which is 3.5 and here is the work A=πr2=π·3.52≈38.48451

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helped and you understood if you want it would help a lot if you put it brainliest.

The image shows three tennis balls enclosed in a cylindrical can. Choose all that are correct. The volume of a single tennis bal

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The volume of a single tennis ball is $14.14\ in^{3}$

The volume of three tennis balls is $42.42\ in^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the volume of a single tennis ball

we know that

The volume of a sphere is equal to

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

where r is the radius of the sphere

In this problem

$r=3/2=1.5\ in$

substitute

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi (1.5)^{3}$

$V=14.14\ in^{3}$

Step 2

Find the volume of the can

we know that

the volume of the cylinder is equal to

$V=\pi r^{2} h$

where r is the radius of the cylinder

h is the height of the cylinder

in this problem we have

$r=3/2=1.5\ in$

$h=8.4\ in$

substitute

$V=\pi (1.5)^{2}(8.4)$

$V=59.38\ in^{3}$

Statement

<u>case A)</u> The volume of a single tennis ball is $14.14\ in^{3}$

The statement is true

See the procedure in Step 1

<u>case B)</u> The volume of the can is $56.55\ in^{3}$

The statement is false

The volume of the can is $59.38\ in^{3}$ --> see the procedure Step 2

<u>case C)</u> The empty space inside the can is $14.13\ in^{3}$

The statement is false

To find the empty space subtract the volume of three tennis ball from the volume of the can

$59.38\ in^{3}-3*14.14\ in^{3}=16.96\ in^{3}$

<u>case D)</u> The volume of three tennis balls is $42.42\ in^{3}$

The statement is true

To find the volume of three tennis balls multiply the volume of a single tennis ball by three

$14.14*3=42.42\ in^{3}$
