a) –a + b is negative
b) a – b is positive
c) b-a is negative
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Suppose a and b are real numbers where a > 0 and b < 0.
a. Is –a + b positive or negative. Explain how you know.
We know a > 0 and b < 0. so, let a =6 and b = -5
Putting values:
–a + b
= -(6)+(-5) = -6-5 = -11
So, –a + b is negative
b. Is a – b positive or negative? Explain how you know.
We know a > 0 and b < 0. so, let a =6 and b = -5
Putting values:
a - b
=6-(-5) = 6+5 = 11
So, a – b is positive
c. Is b – a positive or negative. Explain how you know
We know a > 0 and b < 0. so, let a =6 and b = -5
Putting values:
b-a
=(-5)-(6)
= -5-6
= -11
So, b-a is negative

The area of the trapezoid is the amount of space on it, and the value of the area is 16.5 square cm
<h3>How to determine the area?</h3>
The given parameters are:
Parallel sides = 3cm and 8 cm
Height = 3cm
The area is then calculated using:
Area = 0.5 * (Sum of parallel sides) * Height
So, we have:
Area = 0.5 * (3 + 8) * 3
Evaluate
Area = 16.5
Hence, the area of the trapezoid is 16.5 square cm

I do know what this is but you are missing a big bit of info , the best way to solve is to use the grit link because you can type it in.
It is 4 9/10 ounces. you would give the 2 numbers common denominators, which would be 10. You could estimate it to 5 ounces.
