Investigating the Definition of Absolute Value

1 answer:

4 0

It's how far a number is from 0.
( ex.) 6 is 6 away from 0 but so is -6; so the absolute value of 6 is 6 and the absolute value of -6 is 6. the symbol "|" is placed on either side to mean absolute value.

(ex.2) |-6| = 6. -|-6|= -6. |6|=6. and -|6|= -6.
if the negative sign is outside of the symbol then the number will always be negative but if there is no negative sign outside of the symbol it will always be positive, even if it looks lile this. |-6| it would still be positive.

Area of a semicircle is 1/2* πr^2
Area of a square is s^2

Square’s area: 4mm^2

The radius is 3mm
Plug into the equation

1/2* π(3^2)
1/2* π(9)

We can use 3.14 as an estimate of pi

1/2*28.26

14.13mm^2

Now just add them both

Total area 18.13mm^2
