Describing a Value with a Negati
If a base is negative, how will you know whether the
answer is positive or negative before evaluating it?

It it is to the left of the y-axis or right of it.

Step-by-step explanation:

both equations and proportions are better.

18

step-by-step explanation:

draw the shape and you will see that f and k are actually at adjacent vertices (points of the hexagon that are neighboring).   so find the distance between (1,2) and (4,2).   that is easy since (1,2) and (4,2) is just a vertical distance to count, which is 3.   it is a regular polygon which means all sides are congruent.   you have 6 sides (hexa) so multiply 6 by 3 to receive 18.
