Answer: |10 - (-8)|
The absolute value is 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between two numbers is a subtraction equation.
10 - (-8) Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive
10 + 8 = 18
If you look at it as the first negative sign means -1 multiplied by the next negative number, "Remember that a negative times a negative is a positive!"
Let s represent the length of any one side of the original square. The longer side of the resulting rectangle is s + 9 and the shorter side s - 2.
The area of this rectangle is (s+9)(s-2) = 60 in^2.
This is a quadratic equation and can be solved using various methods. Let's rewrite this equation in standard form: s^2 + 7s - 18 = 60, or:
s^2 + 7s - 78 = 0. This factors as follows: (s+13)(s-6)=0, so that s = -13 and s= 6. Discard s = -13, since the side length cannot be negative. Then s = 6, and the area of the original square was 36 in^2.
Answer:
I'm unsure of the answer but here's how to solve it yourself :)
Step-by-step explanation:
area of a prism is obtained by taking the sum of (twice the base area) and (the lateral surface area of the prism). The surface area of a prism is given as S = (2 × Base Area) + (Base perimeter × height) where "S" is the surface area of the prism.
Answer:
52
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Spinner A</u>
- Probability of red = 0.5,
- Probability of blue = 0.5
<u>Spinner B</u>
- Probability of red = 0.6,
- Probability of blue = 0.4
<u>Probability of both A and B land on red: </u>
<u>Number of attempts to get outcome of 84 red on both spinners is:</u>
<u>Probability of both spinners land on blue:</u>
<u>Estimated number of both spinners land on blue:</u>
