Answer:

This statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value is how far the number is from zero, so how many steps will it take on a number line to get from that particular number to zero?

Since you can't have negative steps, The -13 in absolute value would be 13.

The -(-13) is the same thing as saying -1 ( -13 ). Since negative times a negative is a positive, 13=13 is a true statement.

Using only whole numbers, how can you draw three rectangles with perimeter of 12 units

Assoli18 [71]

Perimeter means the sides add up to 12.
Rectangles have two pairs of equal sides.

2(one side) + 2(another side) = 12
2 (one side + another side) = 12
(one side + another side) = 6

To draw a rectangle with a perimeter of 12 units, the two adjacent sides must add up to 6.
1 + 5
2 + 4
3 + 3
