PLEASE 20 POINTS IF ANSWER IS RIGHT. 2. Please complete both Parts A, B, & C below.

a. These triangles are proportional. Identify which sides match up between the two triangles. Please note sides are named from point to point so for instance the length 40 on triangle ABC is referred to as side AB. Make sure to identify all three pairs.

b. Set up fractions with your side pairs to show proportionality. Do they all simplify down to the same fraction? If not please go back to Part A and remember that shapes can be rotated or reflected. Make sure to show your work demonstrating that the fractions are proportional.

c. Are the triangles similar? If so explain why. If not, explain why not. Your work from Part A & B may help with this.

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.

< xcy ≅ < xby

step-by-step explanation:

in δcax and δbax,

so, δcax ≅ δbax (side-angle-side or sas)

since δcax ≅ δbax, we can conclude < acx ≅ < abx

in δacy and δaby,

so, δacy ≅ δaby (side-angle-side or sas)

since δacy ≅ δaby, we can conclude < acy ≅ < aby

now,

< acy ≅ < aby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < abx + < xby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < acx + < xby   (since < acx ≅ < abx already proved above)

subtracting < acx from both sides, we get

< acx + < xcy -< acx ≅ < acx + < xby -< acx

cancelling out < acx and -< acx from both sides, we get

< xcy ≅ < xby (proved)
