-3/8 = -0.375

-5/8 = -0.625
-1/8 = -0.125
1/4 = 0.25
0.5 = 0.5

Therefore 1/4 & 0.5 & -1/8 > -3/8

Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find a number which is greater than the absolute value of -3/8.

Absolute value of -3/8 = 3/8

3/8=0.375

Now, we have to find a number which is greater than 0.375

1/4=0.25

0.25 is smaller than 0.375

0.5 is greater than 0.375

also -5/8 and -1/8 are less than 0.375

Hence, the only number which is greater than the absolute value of -3/8 is:

0.5

See the picture attached to better understand the problem

we know that
in the right triangle ABC
sin 70°=opposite side angle 70°/hypotenuse

in this problem
opposite side angle 70°=AB
hypotenuse=AC----> 32 ft
sin 70°=AB/32------> AB=32*sin 70°-----> AB=30.07 ----> AB=30.1 ft
