We need to find the absolute value of these numbers to see which one is closer to the surface of the ocean. The surface of the ocean is at 0.

Trina : | - 85.5 | = 85.5 meters from 0
Jessie : | 87.9 | = 87.9 meters from 0

so Trina is closer to 0 then Jessie is. <==
The reason we took the absolute value of these numbers, is because that is what the absolute value does...it tells us how many spaces away from 0 it is.

Rasek [7]

Answer:

$x=2\sqrt3\ km$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The base of a triangle = 2 km

The perpendicular height of the triangle = $2\sqrt{2} \ km$

We need to find the value of x. It is the Hypotenuse of the triangle. It can be solved as :

$x=\sqrt{(2\sqrt{2})^2+2^2 } \\\\=2\sqrt{2+1 } \\\\=2\sqrt3\ km$

So, the value of x is equal to $2\sqrt3\ km$ .
