Since -5 and -5 are the same number, they are on the same y axis so the only distance we need to calculate is between the X coordinates.
When looking for distance, you can not have a negative. what |-3|+|9| is looking for is the distance from 0 on the X axis. since distance can't be negative, (you go 3 miles away from your house in one direction, vs 3 miles in the opposite. both ways is positive, even with opposite directions. same with axis, it doesnt matter which way, only the number.) you need the absolute value of -3 to get the distance from the 0 on the x axis.
short version: distance is positive, and its adding the distances from the x axis to get distance from each other
Answer:
ok but thanks for the points really helped me out
The most appropriate choice for similarity of triangles will be given by -
Speed of tip of the shadow of woman = 6 ft/s
What are similar triangles?
Two triangles are said to be similar, if the corrosponding angles of the triangles are same and the corrosponding sides of the triangles are in the same ratio.
Here,
The diagram has been attached here
Let the distance of woman from the pole be x ft and the distance of tip of the shadow to the pole be y ft.
Height of street light = 18 ft
Height of woman = 6ft
The two triangles are similar [As height of woman is parallel to the height of pole]
To find the speed, we have to differentiate both sides with respect to time 't'
Speed of tip of her shadow = 6 ft

Answer:
9/100
Step-by-step explanation:
You find 1/8 of 3/4 which is 9/100
4y-8>10
Add 8
4y-8+8>10+8
4y>18
Now divide both sides by 4
4y/4 > 18/4
y>9/2
Now let's see if it will be true
Replace y by its value
4(9/2)-8>10
36/2 -8 > 10
18-8 > 10
10 > 10
That's false because 10 can not smaller than 10
so it should be = instead
Answer : False
I hope that's help:)
