Since absolute value is just taking the positive value of whatever you put in the function, it is 7.8 as well. Also, absolute value can be described as the distance from 0 on the number line. 7.8 is 7.8 "units" away from 0, thus meaning it is equal to 7.8.
The answer is c. I hope that helps
Answer:
8r^4
Step-by-step explanation:

Check the picture below.
![\bf A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}\quad \begin{cases} A=20\\ a=6z-1\\ b=2z+3\\ h=z \end{cases}\implies 20=\cfrac{z[(6z-1)~+~(2z+3)]}{2} \\\\\\ 20=\cfrac{z(8z+2)}{2}\implies 20=\cfrac{2z(4z+1)}{2}\implies 20=z(4z+1) \\\\\\ 20=4z^2+z\implies 0=4z^2+z-20](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbf%20A%3D%5Ccfrac%7Bh%28a%2Bb%29%7D%7B2%7D%5Cquad%20%0A%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%0AA%3D20%5C%5C%0Aa%3D6z-1%5C%5C%0Ab%3D2z%2B3%5C%5C%0Ah%3Dz%0A%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%5Cimplies%2020%3D%5Ccfrac%7Bz%5B%286z-1%29~%2B~%282z%2B3%29%5D%7D%7B2%7D%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A20%3D%5Ccfrac%7Bz%288z%2B2%29%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%2020%3D%5Ccfrac%7B2z%284z%2B1%29%7D%7B2%7D%5Cimplies%2020%3Dz%284z%2B1%29%0A%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%0A20%3D4z%5E2%2Bz%5Cimplies%200%3D4z%5E2%2Bz-20)

since the height is just a length unit, it can't be -2.3646.
