Tell whether the sum is positive, negative, or zero without adding them.
-8 + 20

The sum is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 20 is a far greater value than -8, so no matter what, when you add them the sum will be positive. Though this would not be the same were the -8 greater than -20.

Hope this helps!

step-by-step explanation:

answer: the angel abc is 30°,and the abc is a triangle where the angel bac is 90°

so ac is the half of 24=12ft,and from the pythagorean theorem we find ba

ba=√bc^2-ac^2=√576-144=√432=12√3ft

so bac is 12+12√3=12(1+√3)ft
