A is an absolute value if it is greater than zero. This simply means that an absolute value number will always be greater than zero. This is because absolute value is the distance from 0 on a number line. Keep in mind that distance cannot be negative. For example, look at the numbers 5 and -5. 5 is 5 spaces from 0, and -5 is also 5 spaces from 0, not -5 spaces from 0. Put simply, an absolute value number that is greater than 0, will always be positive.
