The absolute value of -12.5 is?

|-12.5| = 12.5

The absolute value of a negative number is the number that is exactly opposite on the number line, being a positive number. A positive number's absolute value is always the same thing, positive. Examples:-

|10| = 10
|-10| = 10
|-8.5| = 8.5
|8.5| = 8.5

|-12.5| = 12.5

⇒ Absolute value
Absolute value is the opposite of the number. It does not contain any signs.

-12.5 = 12.5
The negative sign goes away.

Answer: 0.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C is the event of drinking coffee, T is the event of drinking tea and M is the event of drinking milk.

Thus, when we make the Venn diagram of the given situation according to the given information,

Total number of people = 50

Number of people who like coffee, tea and milk = 19

Number of people who like coffee, tea but not milk = 16

Number of people who like coffee, milk but not tea = 2

Number of people who like tea, milk but not coffee = 5

Thus, the number of people who like tea only = Total people - (people who like coffee, tea but not milk + people who like coffee, tea and milk + the one who only like tea and milk but not coffee)

= 50 - ( 16 + 19 + 5) = 50 - 46 = 4

Thus, Total number of the person who like milk = 16 + 19 + 5 + 4 = 44

⇒ Probability that this person likes tea = $\frac{\text{ Total person who like to drink milk}}{\text{ Total number of people}}$ = $\frac{44}{50} = 0.88$

The clouds are 226.68 meters above the spotlight.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The angle measuring device is 65 meters from the spotlight and the angle of elevation from the ground to the spot of light is 74°.

So a right-angled triangle can be formed using these measurements. The angle of the triangle is 74° while the opposite side of the triangle measures x meters while the adjacent side of the triangle measures 65 meters.

We need to calculate the opposites side's length of the triangle.

Step 2:

Since we have the adjacent side's length and need to calculate the opposite side's length we use the tan of the given angle.

The opposite side of the triangle = x meters.

$\tan \theta = \frac{oppositeside}{adjacentside} = \frac{x}{65}.$
