2. when you use the fill handle to copy a formula to adjacent cells, this creates what kind of cell reference?

Relative Reference

Explanation:

Cell references are considered to be relative references when cells is copied across multiple cells, causing them to change based on the relative position of rows and columns.

For example, if you copy the formula =F1+G1 from row 1 to row 2, the formula will become =F2+G2.

Another example, if you copy the formula =F4*G4 from cell H4 to H5, the formula in H5 adjusts to the right by one column and becomes =F5*G5.

Relative references are often easier to adopt or use whenever you need to repeat  the same calculation across multiple rows or columns.
