Answer:

When we are considering distance in relation to a fixed point

Step-by-step explanation:

When we consider , the distance of an object relative to a fixed point, it will make sense to compare the absolute values of numbers rather than the numbers themselves.

For instance, the depth of an object below see level is -32.

And also, the height of an object above see level 12.

This time it wouldn't make sense to to compare the numbers themselves to see which is farther from sea level but rather their absolute value.
