Answer:

The sum is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When you add a negative number to a positive number, it is basically just subtracting the negative from the positive. To make it simple, 5 + -4 is just 5 - 4.

Hannah was wrong in saying you take the sign of the larger number because it would not matter if the first number was a million, the signs don't change based on the size of numbers.

Yuliya22 [10]
Area of circle = πr² 

Given that area = 153.86 m², find the radius:

 153.86 = πr²

r² = 153.86 ÷ π

r² = 48.98

r = √48.98

r = 7 m

Diameter = Radius x 2 = 7 x 2 = 14 m
