Use a number line to add 3 + (-5).
1 answer:
Answer: -2
Step-by-step explanation: When your adding and subtracting positives and negatives, it helps to use a number line to visualise what's going on in the problem.
On a number line zero is in the middle. All numbers to the right of zero are positive and all numbers to the left of zero are negative.
So when your simplifying a problem like 3 + (-5), we start at zero and positive 3 takes us to the right. From there, -5 moves us 5 units back to the left and we end up -2. So 3 + (-5) simplifies to -2.

Answer:
368 sq. units.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a square of side lengths 20 units and we cut four congruent isosceles right triangles from the corners of the square.
Now, the four isosceles right triangles have one leg equal to 4 units.
Therefore, the area of four triangles = sq. units.
Now, we have the area of the given square is (20 × 20) = 400 sq. units.
Therefore, the area of the remaining octagon will be (400 - 32) = 368 sq. units. (Answer)
