BE&E, Chapter X, Page 13 of your textbook. We don't help you pass your course. You've got to do it yourself. Hang in there!

4 is greater than 2.
But 2 is less than 4!

It just depends which you take as your reference point. This principal applies to almost all measurements.

Ouch!

If this student has to go to the web to answer this simple question then I think that its time to change your major. Have you considered Art History?
