in class, matthew stated "i think that a negative is like an opposite. That is why multiplying a negative times a negative equal

s a positive. The opposite of negative is positive, so it is just like multiplying the opposite of a negative twice, which is two positives." Do you agree or disagree with this statement? What would you say in response to him?

Yes and no. A negative number and it's opposite are 'integers.' Yes, a negative and a negative multiplied together give you a positive. The two negative signs cancel out making it positive. But no, a positive and a positive multiplied together do not give you a negative. When you subtract positive numbers you can get a negative, but not when multiplying. If you were to do a positive times a negative it would be negative because the positive can't cancel it out. Example: -3 · -3 = 9. [] 3 · 3 = 9. [] -3 · 3 = -9. Other than the positive number part, the statement is true about the negatives. I hope that helped!

Answer: Yes, I agree with this statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Yes, I agree with this statement.</u>

Whenever we multiply two negative numbers, we get a positive number.

As two negatives makes a positive.

Negative is just like an opposite.

Opposite of 4 is -4.

and negative of 4 is also -4.

The opposite of negative is positive.

i.e. opposite of -4 is 4.

So, Negative is always treat as opposite.

1) Which circles are congruent?
alexdok [17]
Hello!

1) A and D

The radius is the distance from the center of a circle to any part of the edge. Both A and D have a radius of three, regardless of what direction they go.

2)  5"

In circle C we see that there is a line segment that is 5" that goes from the center to the edge, or the radius.

3) C

The different variables are representing different points on the circles. The circle that contains a line connecting C and L is circle C.

4) BN

Circle B contains a radius that is the distance from B to N, or BN.

5) EF

The diameter is the distance of a  straight line that was pass through the middle of a circle, or its width. The diameter is double the radius. In circle A we see that line EF passes through the center put goes all the way across the circle.

6)IJ

Line IJ isn't even linear, so it could not be the radius. Both AG and BH are straight lines that represent the radius.

7) 6"

The diameter is always twice the radius. In circle A the radius is 3, so the diameter is 6.

8) A and D

Just as we said in the first answer, A and D both have a radius that measures 3 inches.

I hope this helps!

What is the value of x in the figure?
34kurt

Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that the x-axis is 180 degrees and the square looking symbol represents that it is 90 degrees, we know that the other side has to also equal 90 degrees since 180-90=90.

To find the x, we need to subtract 90 from 61, which would give us 90-61 = 29.
