Paula is located at a position of −12 feet relative to the ground. Which statement shows the distance she is from ground level?

|12| = −12, therefore Paula is at a distance of −12 feet
|−12| = 12, therefore Paula is at a distance of −12 feet
|−12| = 12, therefore Paula is at a distance of 12 feet
|12| = 12, therefore Paula is at a distance of 12 feet

The absolute value of a number is the distance from point to the origin. Since Paula is located at a position of −12 feet relative to the ground, then the distance from point -12 on the number line to the origin is 12 (distance cannot be negative).

Thus, |-12|=12 and Paula is at a distance of 12 feet.
