An absolute value means something distance from 0, so |8| = 8 because the distance of 8 from 0 is 8. However the |-8| still equals 8 because the distance from -8 to 0 is 8

So with that in mind, we know that |-4| is 4 because the distance -4 is from 0 is 4

So we have 4*4 = 16

Figure out if the figure is volume or surface area.<br><br>(and the cut out cm is 4cm)

velikii [3]

Answer:

Surface area of the box = 168 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of cardboard needed = Surface area of the box

Since the given box is in the shape of a triangular prism,

Surface area of the prism = 2(surface area of the triangular bases) + Area of the three rectangular lateral sides

Surface area of the triangular base = $\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{height})$

= $\frac{1}{2}(6)(4)$

= 12 cm²

Surface area of the rectangular side with the dimensions of (6cm × 9cm),

= Length × width

= 6 × 9

= 54 cm²

Area of the rectangle with the dimensions (9cm × 5cm),

= 9 × 5

= 45 cm²

Area of the rectangle with the dimensions (9cm × 5cm),

= 9 × 5

= 45 cm²

Surface area of the prism = 2(12) + 54 + 45 + 45

= 24 + 54 + 90

= 168 cm²
