This problem is solely on right triangles, wherein the Pythagorean theorem may be applied. We must first find the angle of elevation of the flagpole using Tim's height and the difference between the shadow of the flagpole and Tim's distance from the flagpole. Therefore tan a = 1.65/(16.6-12.5) where a=21.68 degrees. We use this angle to determine the height of the flagpole. tan 21.68 = x/ 16.6 where x=height of flagpole=6.6 meters.

Absolute Value is always positive.<br><br> True<br> False
kramer

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation: Absolute value means <em>distance from zero</em> on a number line. A common mistake is to assume that absolute value is always positive but that's not necessarily the case.

Take 0 for example.

It's 0 units away from zero on a number line which

means it has an absolute value of zero.

However, all other numbers besides zero will have

an absolute value that is positive.
