At one of New York's traffic signals, if more than 17 cars are held up at the intersection, a traffic officer will intervene and direct the traffic. The
hourly traffic pattern from 12:00 p. m. to 10:00 p. m. mimics the random numbers generated between 5 and 25. (This holds true if there are no
external factors such as accidents or car breakdowns.)

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.

answer: c.  

step-by-step explanation:

mixtures containing substances that get attracted to magnet can be separated using a magnet. we can separate iron from a mixture of sand and iron, as only iron attracts to the magnet.
