John says 1/3 is smaller than 1/8 because 3 is less than 8. Jane says 1/3 is greater than 1/8 because the pieces are bigger. Who is
right? How do you know?

Jane is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

100 divide by 3 is 33.333 recurring

100 divided by 8 is 12.5

.

step-by-step explanation:

.

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.
