Solution
Solution Steps
To solve the given problem, we need to understand how the model can be used to illustrate the addition and subtraction facts. The model consists of a table with two rows and two columns. The first row has two cells with values 9 and 4, and the second row has one cell with the value 9. We need to determine how this model can be used to illustrate the given addition facts.
a) $9+4=13$
The model shows that when 9 and 4 are put next to each other, their combined length is equal to 13.
b) $4+9=13$
The model shows that when 4 and 9 are put next to each other, their combined length is equal to 13.
Step 1: Define the Model
The model consists of two rows:
Row 1: \(9\) and \(4\)
Row 2: \(9\)
Step 2: Calculate the Sum of Row 1
The sum of the values in Row 1 is:
\[
9 + 4 = 13
\]
Step 3: Verify the Addition Fact \(9 + 4 = 13\)
Since the sum of Row 1 is \(13\), the model can be used to illustrate the addition fact \(9 + 4 = 13\).
Step 4: Calculate the Sum of Row 1 in Reverse Order
The sum of the values in Row 1 in reverse order is:
\[
4 + 9 = 13
\]
Step 5: Verify the Addition Fact \(4 + 9 = 13\)
Since the sum of Row 1 in reverse order is \(13\), the model can be used to illustrate the addition fact \(4 + 9 = 13\).
Final Answer
For part (a):
\[
\boxed{A}
\]
For part (b):
\[
\boxed{A}
