A water container in the form of a prism has a square base of 10 inches by 10 inches and a height of 16 inches. It is half - filled with water. A metal spherical ball with a radius of 1.5 inches is place fully submerged in the container. How high does the water rise in the container ?

its 4 i think

Step-by-step explanation:

|x| = 4    This means: What value can we substitute for x to get an answer of 4?

**You might automatically say: x = 4    because |4| = 4

Yes, you are correct! However, this is not the only answer. You will have two answers for this equation because:

Isn't |-4| = 4 ?

So, this answer is x = 4 or -4.
