The absolute value returns the "positive version" of a number.
In other words, if the number is positive, it remains positive; if the number is negative, it changes sign.
So, if we want , we want the "positive version" of x to be 9.
This can happen in two ways: if x is already 9, then its absolute value is still nine. If instead x=-9, its positive value will be 9 again.
In formula, we have
because
Answer:
26.4ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
I first converted the centimeter values to feet
140Cm x 30.48 = 4.59
70cm x 30.48 = 2.3
the paper required is approximately equal to the area of the pyramid.
area of pyramid is equal to area of triangle + base²
Are of triangle = 1/2 x b xh
= 4 x 1/2 x4.59x2.3 + (2.3)²
= 2 x 4.59 x 2.3 + 5.29
= 26.4 feet²
therefore it will take 26.4 feet² paper to make each tree, including the bottom.
