Answer:
19.4in
Step-by-step explanation:
1) formula for area of a triangle:
(b*h)/2=a
the area and height are already given so lets substitute them in the formula.
(b*23.8)/2=230.86
1) multiply by 2 on both sides
b*23.8=461.72
divide by 23.8 on both sides
b=19.4
the base is 19.4 in
hope this helps

the first step is to deal with the negative exponents, which causes numbers to go to the other side of the fraction
8x^{-9}+(-3x^{-3}y^{-2})(\frac{5}{x^6y^{-2}})
goes to

now we can simplify the multiplied terms

Now that we have common bases, we can add the 2 fractions together to get

Final answer:
Since absolute values determine the distance between the number and the value whether the value is positive or negative. As distance is always positive.
Thus, |a| is always nonnegative, even though |a|=-a for negative values of a.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
It is said that |a| is always nonnegative even though even though |a|=-a for negative values of a.
Step 2
This is because by the definition of an absolute value, any real number inside an absolute value symbol || will always be positive.
