How are absolute values used to describe quantities ?

Absolute value is a number's distance from 0, so when comparing quantities, such as positive and negative, the greater absolute value is of that number.

For ex:

|-11| > |6| ,  because |-11| = 11, |6| = 6, and 11 > 6.

So, |-11| > |6|

the dimensions are:

step-by-step explanation:

we want to find the dimensions of a rectangular box with volume of

we factor to obtain;

we rewrite the rightmost factor to obtain;

recall that:

we apply difference of two squares formula to obtain;

hence the dimensions are
