Triangle A E C is shown. Line segment B D is drawn near point C to form triangle B D C. Which piece of additional information can be used to prove △CEA ~ △CDB?

∠BDC and ∠AED are right angles
AE ≅ ED
△BDC is a right triangle
∠DBC ≅ ∠DCB

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.

your answer   is c

step-by-step explanation:

x = -5
