The absolute value of a number is added to the original number. Kayla says the sum is always 0. Is she correct? Why

1 answer:

5 0

The absolute value of a number is its distance from 0. The absolute value of -4 is 4, the absolute value of 4 is 4.
-4 + 4 is 0, so she's right there; but 4, + its absolute value, 4, is 8. This means that Kayla is incorrect.

The age of a boy is twice that of his sister. five years ago the boy was 3 times the age of his sister. How old is the boy

joja [24]

Answer:

<h2>20 years old.</h2>

Solution,

Let the age of sister be X

Let the age of boy be 2x

Now,

Five years ago,

 $3(x - 5) = 2x - 5 \\ or \: 3x - 15 = 2x - 5 \\ or \: 3x - 2x = - 5 + 15 \\ x = 10$ 

Again,

Replacing value,

 $age \: of \: boy = 2x \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 2 \times 10 \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 20$ 

hope this helps..

Good luck on your assignment..

The polygons are similar. The area of one polygon is given. Find the area of the other polygon.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

108 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

For the polygon on the left, we are given the length of one side (3 ft) and the total area (27 ft²). With this information, we can determine the length of the other side - 9 ft. I found this by dividing 27 ft² by 3 ft, giving me the final result of 9 ft.

Next, we have to find the other side of the polygon on the right so we can ultimately determine its area. It looks like there is a scale factor of 2 between the two polygons, since 3 × 2 = 6. We know that the bottom side of the left polygon is 9, so multiplying 9 by 2 should give us the bottom side of the polygon on the right. 9 × 2 = 18.

Now, we have the side lengths for the polygon on the right and can determine its area. What is 6 ft × 18 ft? Well, the answer is 107 ft², and this is the answer to the question.

Hopefully that's helpful! :)
