Answer:

Change the value from negative to positive

Or

Change the value from positive to positive

Step-by-step explanation:

It is very simple

Any number's absolute value should be positive

Let's say absolute value of 3 - >answer is 3

But absolute value of - 3 - > is also 3

Hope you understood it.

Answer:

In math students think that the function just removes negative signs, and actually that is basically what happens...

BUT !!! the definition that you want is that absolute value is a measure of how far (distance) you are from ZERO.... and note that distances are not negative...

If you run out of gas one mile in front of behind a gas station, you have to travel "one mile" you don't walk "negative one mile"...

forward one mile or backward one mile are both "one mile" just in different directions

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

31 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is attached.

A triangle is a polygon with three sides (three edges and three vertices). There are different types of triangles which are equilateral triangles, right triangles, scalene triangles, obtuse triangles, acute triangles, and isosceles triangles.

An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all its sides are equal and all its angles are equal to 60°.

From the triangle, AB = BC = AC = 9.5 cm

Since the triangle is enlarged 3.25 times, hence:

new length of BC = 9.25 cm × 3.25 = 30.875

New length of BC = 31 cm to nearest cm

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

On a unit circle, the point that corresponds to an angle of 0^{\circ} is at position (1, \, 0).

The point that corresponds to an angle of 90^{\circ} is at position (0, \, 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

On a cartesian plane, a unit circle is

  • a circle of radius 1,
  • centered at the origin (0, \, 0).

The circle crosses the x- and y-axis at four points:

  • (1, \, 0),
  • (0, \, 1),
  • (-1,\, 0), and
  • (0,\, -1).

Join a point on the circle with the origin using a segment. The "angle" here likely refers to the counter-clockwise angle between the positive x-axis and that segment.

When the angle is equal to 0^\circ, the segment overlaps with the positive x-axis. The point is on both the circle and the positive x-axis. Its coordinates would be (1, \, 0).

To locate the point with a 90^{\circ} angle, rotate the 0^\circ segment counter-clockwise by 90^{\circ}. The segment would land on the positive y-axis. In other words, the 90^{\circ}-point would be at the intersection of the positive y-axis and the circle. Its coordinates would be (0, \, 1).
