spreadsheet is a grid which interactively manages and organises data
in rows and columns.
Worksheet:- The worksheet is single page spreadsheet or page

To delete the worksheet Right click on worksheet name  then click
delete sheet.

6. What is an active cell? How to delete the contents of an active

cell?
Answer:- In a spreadsheet, cell is the place where we enter the data.
The selected or activated cell is called as active cell.
To press Delete key we can delete the contents of an active cell.

7. What is relative and absolute cell address in the spreadsheet?

Answer:- Relative referencing: When we drag the formula downwards
in columns, the row number of the cell address gets one added. In the
same way, when you drag the formula horizontally from the left to the
right column, the column name of the cell address is added on to the
next column letter.
Absolute referencing: In Absolute referencing, a $ symbol is used
before the column name as well as row number to make it constant in
any formula. For example, $C$12, $D$5, etc. In this case, even if you
drag your formula in any direction, the cell name remains constant.
