Absolute value is a function that takes some number and outputs the size of that number, regardless of the sign. By definition,
if
, and
if
.
For example,
- |2| = 2 because the input 2 is positive, so the input is unchanged;
- |-3| = -(-3) = 3 because the input -3 is negative, so the sign is switched.
What this means for this problem is that there are two cases to consider:
- If
, then
, so that

- On the other hand, if
, then
, so

Answer:
volume = 456 in³
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
350:100
Step-by-step explanation:
By dividing 450 by 9 which is 7 + 2, both of the ratio numbers, and you get 50. Then you do 50 x 7, the first number, then 50 x 2, the second number, to get 350:100
You could sort them by how many sides the figure has, then it would be split up into 2 groups, one group with 4 sides and another with 3
