Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a quantity is ALWAYS positive. If there were a negative outside of that, that would make it negative. This is the ONLY exception.

Answer:

<h2>FALSE</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The definiton of an absolute value:

$|a|=\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a&for&a\geq0\\-a&for&a$

The absolute value of any real number is a non-negative number.

|-25| = -(-25) = 25 > 0

Given: △FKL, FK=a, m∠F=45°, m∠L=30° Find: FL

drek231 [11]

The best way to do this is to draw a picture of ΔFKL and include line segment KM that is perpendicular to FL. This creates ΔFKM which is a 45°-45°-90° triangle and ΔLKM which is a 30°-60°-90° triangle.

Find the lengths of FM and ML. Then, FM + ML = FL

FM

ΔFKM (45°-45°-90°): FK is the hypotenuse so FM = $\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{a\sqrt{2} }{2}$

ML

ΔLKM (30°-60°-90°): from ΔFKM, we know that KM = $\frac{a\sqrt{2} }{2}$ , so KL = $\frac{a}{\sqrt{6}} = \frac{a\sqrt{6} }{6}$

FM + ML = FL

$(\frac{3}{3})\frac{a\sqrt{2} }{2} + \frac{a\sqrt{6} }{6}$

= $\frac{3a\sqrt{2} + a\sqrt{6} }{6}$

Pedro, Alex, and Jaime are having a three-point contest. Each boy takes six turns and records the number of three-pointers he sh

bazaltina [42]

First, reorder the numbers for each person.
The median is basically the middle number. If there are 2 middle numbers, then take the average of the two of them.

Pedro: 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
The 2 middle numbers are 6 and 7. The average of 6 and 7 is 6.5 .
Median = 6.5

Alex: 3, 5, 5, 5, 9, 9
The 2 middle numbers are 5 and 5; so basically, the average is 5.
Median = 5

Jaime: 3, 4, 6, 8, 8, 9
The 2 middle numbers are 6 and 8 and thus, the average is 7.
Median = 7

So the answer should be Jaime.
