One example of absolute value in the real world is subtraction.
For example, you have 17_____ and your friend has 62_____.
if you want to see how many more _____ your friend has, you want to make sure that the answer will be positive. The way that you do this is you subtract |17 - 62| = 45
(I know.... You could just do 62 - 17, but absolute value can be used so you can subtract |a - b| and |b - a|, and they will turn out the same.)

61.23 square inches of metal is needed to create a cylindrical can.

Solution:

Diameter of the base = 3 in

Radius of the base = 3 ÷ 2 = 1.5 in

Height of the cylinder = 5 in

The value of π = 3.14

<u>To find the surface area of the cylinder:</u>

Surface area of the cylinder = 2 \pi r^{2}+2 \pi r h

                                               = 2 × 3.14 × (1.5)² + 2 × 3.14 × 1.5 × 5

                                               = 14.13 + 47.1

Surface area of the cylinder = 61.23 sq. in

Hence 61.23 square inches of metal is needed to create a cylindrical can.
