Question

On a hike, Twyla traveled from an altitude of 527 meters to an altitude of 487 meters. Which statement uses absolute value correctly? *

Answer 1

Difference, D = 40

Explanation:

This question requires options. Since there's none, I'll answer generally.

Represent the distances with d1 and d2

d1 = 527 Meters

d2 = 487 Meters

Required

Determine the absolute difference

The absolute difference (D) of the given distances can be calculated using the following expression

D = |d1 - d2|

Substitute values for d1 and d2

D = |527−487|

D =|40|

D = 40

Hence, Twyla traveled 40 meters.
