How do you determine the sign of the answer?

() at a farm, animals are fed bales of hay and buckets of gain. each bale of hay is in the shape of a rectangular prism. the base side lengths 2 feet and 3 feet, and the height is 5 feet. each bucket of grain is a cylinder with diameter of 3 feet. the height of the bucket is 5 feet as the height of bale. a. which is larger in area, the rectangular base of the bale or the circular base of the bucket? explain how you know b. which is larger in volume, the bale or the bucket? explain how you know

If a translation of t-3,-8(x, y) is applied to square abcd what is the y-coordinate of b'? the y-coordinate of is 43 mark this and return save and exit next submit

Parabolas y=−2x^2 and y=2x^2 +k intersect at points a and b that are in the third and the fourth quadrants respectively. find k if length of the segment ab is 5.
