Beth is planning a playground and has decided to place the swings in such a way that they are the same distance from the jungle gym and the monkey bars. if beth places the swings at point d, how could she prove that point d is equidistant from the jungle gym and monkey bars?

x intercept = (-1,0)   (4,0)

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.
