The difference of two numbers is always less than the sum of those two numbers

true or false
explain your reasoning

Here's a counter example to prove the statement to be incorrect

first number = 1

second number = -2

sum = 1 + (-2) = -1

difference = 1 - (-2) = 1 + 2 = 3

We see that the difference (3) is not smaller than the sum (-1)

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6

won't that be plagrisim thought?
