Answer:

Yes! |-15| = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Many people think of absolute value (the two bars symbol around the -15) as ALWAYS POSITIVE.

You can also think of absolute value as a distance. If you move 15 units, it doesn't matter in what direction you go. 15 units travelled is 15 units.

Lastly, absolute value has a V-shaped graph, that is because its always positive.

Yes, the lines on either side of the number -15 mean absolute value. Meaning that whatever number inside of the lines is positive.

Answer:

The shortest length of wire that can be used is 29.47 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem we can follow the following steps:

1) We have the dimensions of the floor of the room. The shortest distance between its opposite corners is the diagonal. We calculate the diagonal using the Pythagorean theorem.

L = \sqrt{12^2 + 19^2}\\\\L= 22.47\ ft

2) Since the speaker is on the ceiling, and the amplifier is on the floor, then 7 more feet of wire is needed to reach the speaker. <em>Observe the attached image</em>

3) The final distance (d) is:

d = 22.47\ ft + 7\ ft\\\\d = 29.47\ ft
