What is the sum of the absolute values of -14 and 10? What is the absolute value of the sum of -14 and 10?

|-14| + |10| = 24

|-14 + 10| = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of each absolute value makes the values positive before adding them together, producing 24.

For the second one, you have to find the sum then take the absolute value afterwards. The sum of -14 and 10 is -4 and the absolute value makes -4 positive, producing 4.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
