Answer:

26.1 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is solved using Pythagoras theorem

Pythagoras Theorem =

c² = a² + b²

c = longest side = 27 feet

One post is 12 feet tall while the other is 19 feet tall.

The vertical side = a is calculated as

19 - 12 = 7 feet.

The third side = b = how far apart they are = ?

Therefore,

27² = 7² + b²

b² = 27² - 7²

b = √27² - 7²

b = √(680)

b = 26.076809621 feet

Approximately = 26.1 feet

Therefore, the distance between the posts = 26.1 feet

What is an absolute value? What does it do? When would we need to use an absolute value
Nana76 [90]
Absolute Value Absolute Value means ...

... only how far a number is from zero:

<span> <span><span> </span> <span> <span> "6" is 6 away from zero,
and "−6" is also 6 away from zero. So the absolute value of 6 is 6,
and the absolute value of −6 is also 6 </span> </span> </span></span>

More Examples:

<span><span>The absolute value of −9 is 9</span><span>The absolute value of 3 is 3</span><span>The absolute value of 0 is 0</span><span>The absolute value of −156 is 156</span></span> No Negatives!

So in practice "absolute value" means to remove any negative sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive (or zero).

Absolute Value Symbol

To show that we want the absolute value of something, we put "|" marks either side (they are called "bars" and are found on the right side of a keyboard), like these examples:

<span> <span><span> |−5| = 5 |7| = 7 </span> </span></span> Sometimes absolute value is also written as "abs()", so abs(−1) = 1 is the same as <span>|−1| = 1</span>
