The distance of it away from zero cannot be a negative distance, distance is always positive therefor the absolute value will always be positive.
Short answer: no, absolute value is always positive
I hope this helps :)
I think it's like 2.739 × 10
Answer:
5cm by 1.95cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the rectangle be x
Let the width be y
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2x + 2y
If the initial perimeter of a rectangle is about 13.9 cm, then;
13.9 = 2x + 2y ..... 1
If when the width is double the perimeter is 17.8cm, then;
17.8 = 2x + 4y ..... 2
Subtract 1 from 2;
13.9 - 17.8 = 2y - 4y
- 3.9 = -2y
y = 3.9/2
y = 1.95 cm
Substitute y = 1.95 into 1 to get x;
From 1;
13.9 = 2x + 2y
13.9 = 2x + 2(1.95)
13.9 = 2x + 3.9
2x = 13.9-3.9
2x = 10
x = 5 cm
Hence the dimension of the smaller triangle is 5cm by 1.95cm
Answer:
a = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
14a - 21 - 5a = -3
9a - 21 = -3
9a = -3 + 21
9a = 18
a = 2
