when erik went to bed one winter night in northern minnesota, the temperature was -2°f. by the time he got up the next morning, the temperature had dropped to -17°f. assuming the temperature dropped steadily through the night, what was the temperature in the middle of the night?

answer: x= -2y

step-by-step explanation:

think about it deeply and passionately about this property

i am sorry

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.
