A shipping container will be used to transport several 130-kilogram crates across the country by rail. The greatest weight that can be loaded into the container is 26500
kilograms. Other shipments weighing 11400 kilograms have already been loaded into
the container. What is the greatest number of 130-kilogram crates that can be loaded
into the shipping container?

associative property of multiplication

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.
