U have to use the Pythagorean theorem for this.
a^2+b^2=c^2
This situation creates a triangle
A and B are the legs of the triangle.
A=12
B=10

So, u just plug in

12^2+10^2=c^2
144+100=c^2
244=c^2
15.6205=c

THIS IS APPROXIMATELY 16 FT. The answer is B

What is the value of the expression |-5x+12| when x=5
MissTica

First, plug in 5 for x:

| -5 * 5 + 12 | = |-25 + 12| = |-13|

Those two lines are absolute value, which measures the distance from the number to 0 on a number line. This distance is always positive.

The distance from -13 to 0 on a number line is 13. The answer is 13.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

12+(-38)+27= 1
