The home plate in baseball is a five-sided figure with sides that
measure 17 in., 12 in.. 8 in., 12 in.,
and 8 in. What is the sum of the
sides of the figure?

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.
