Answer:

The answer is -8.

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value is the distance between a number and zero, and it is always positive. The distance between -8 and 0 is 8. Then, once the absolute value is found, the actual answer needs to be found by multiplying 8 by (-1). Usually the number in front of an absolute value is 1; however, this absolute value has a negative in front of it, which causes the 1 to become a -1. Thus, causing the final answer to be -8.

Please help if u can

Answer:

x = 11.74739484

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, you can use trig functions. We are given an angle and the side next to it, and we are looking for the side opposite it. The perfect trig function to use for this would be tangent:

tan(θ) = opposite / adjacent

We can substitute the values we already have:

tan(40) = x / 14

x = 14 * tan(40)

We can evaluate this using a calculator and get:

x = 11.74739484
