The answer is -4 2/3

Explanation : The elevator is at 0, and went below ground level 90 feet, that would be -90, then it went up 20 feet, which would be -90 + 20 = -70

-70 ft / 15sec = - 4 2/3

I am not sure about the ground level and negative difference but that it is what I was taught. Below ground level is negative and above is positive. Therefore the elevator traveled up and it traveled -4 2/3 per second.
It so either 4 2/3 or - 4 2/3 but pretty sure it is - 4 2/3.

Find the area of the shaded region ​
o-na [289]

so hmmm let's get the area of the whole hexagon, and then get the area of the circle inside it, then <u>subtract the area of the circle from that of the hexagon's</u>, what's leftover is what we didn't subtract, namely the shaded part.

\textit{area of a regular polygon}\\\\ A=\cfrac{1}{4}ns^2\cot\stackrel{\stackrel{degrees}{\downarrow }}{\left( \frac{180}{n} \right)}~ \begin{cases} n=\textit{number of sides}\\ s=\textit{length of a side}\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ n=\stackrel{hexagon}{6}\\ s=\frac{9}{2} \end{cases}\implies A=\cfrac{1}{4}(6)\left( \cfrac{9}{2} \right)^2 \cot\left( \cfrac{180}{6} \right)

A=\cfrac{1}{4}(6)\cfrac{9^2}{2^2} \cot(30^o)\implies A=\cfrac{243}{8}\cot(30^o)\implies A=\cfrac{243\sqrt{3}}{8} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \textit{area of circle}\\\\ A=\pi r^2~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=\frac{4}{5} \end{cases}\implies A=\pi \left( \cfrac{4}{5} \right)^2\implies A=\cfrac{16\pi }{25} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

\stackrel{\textit{area of the hexagon}}{\cfrac{243\sqrt{3}}{8}}~~ - ~~\stackrel{\textit{area of the circle}}{\cfrac{16\pi }{25}}\implies \cfrac{6075\sqrt{3}-128\pi }{200}

Answer:

Absolute value is the distance from numbers on a number line. The absolute value of -7 is 7 b/c it is 7 units from 0. The absolute value of 5 is 5 b/c it is 5 units from 0.

A negative number is a number that is negative. On a horizontal number line negative numbers are to the left.

A positive number is a number that is positive. On a horizontal number line positive numbers are to the right.

I don't understand the last paragraph though. Hope this helped :D
