Answer:
|8| > |-9|

step-by-step explanation:
-8 < |-4|
-8 < 4 true
|-2| < |-9|
2 < 9 true
|-7| > -9
7 > -9 true
|8| > |-9|
8 > 9 false
to find the absolute of a number it is just the distance from 0 and cannot be negative and therefore is just the number positive
> greater than
< less than
= equal to

First you have to multiply 2x33 which is 66 then you have to add 1 which is 67 so the answer would be 67/2 I don’t know about the percent sign though

Find the area of a quadrilateral ABCD in which AB = 3 cm, BC = 4 cm, CD = 4 cm, DA = 5 cm and AC = 5 cm.

Answer:

$6+2\sqrt{21}\:\mathrm{cm^2}\approx 15.17\:\mathrm{cm^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadrilateral ABCD consists of two triangles. By adding the area of the two triangles, we get the area of the entire quadrilateral.

Vertices A, B, and C form a right triangle with legs $AB=3$ , $BC=4$ , and $AC=5$ . The two legs, 3 and 4, represent the triangle's height and base, respectively.

The area of a triangle with base $b$ and height $h$ is given by $A=\frac{1}{2}bh$ . Therefore, the area of this right triangle is:

$A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 3\cdot 4=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 12=6\:\mathrm{cm^2}$

The other triangle is a bit trickier. Triangle $\triangle ADC$ is an isosceles triangles with sides 5, 5, and 4. To find its area, we can use Heron's Formula, given by:
