Which sequence of transformations will only produce a figure similar to but not congruent to the figure ABCD? A) ABCD is translated 2 units to the right and then reflected across the x-axis. B) ABCD is translated 4 units left, 2 units up, and then reflected across the y-axis. C) ABCD is rotated 180° clockwise about the origin and the translated 3 units right. D) ABCD is dilated by a scale factor 3 and then rotated 90° clockwise about the origin.

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
