We need to select appropriate missing words from the drop-down menus to correctly complete each statement.

First statement is

"|−4| equal to |4| ".

Answer:

We know that absolute value of -4 and 4 can be equal only when their magnitude is considered.

Hence appropriate missing word will be "magnitude".


Second statement is:

" |−4| is the distance from −4 to on a number line."

we know that absolute value represents distance from origin or you can say 0.

so the appropriate missing word is "0".
