Why is 1 + (−5) equal to −4?

Step-by-step explanation:

1 + ( -5)     Adding a negative = subtracting:

= 1 - 5

= -4.

Think of these numbers as 'directed' numbers - the numbers depend on the direction.

If we have a thermometer and the temperature reads 1 degree and the temperature drops, the mercury travels down ( negative direction) by 5 units. . It goes down 1 degree to reach 0 then another 4 degrees to reach -4,

1 - 5 = -4.

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
