Wayne and Winston are scuba diving and are ascending to the surface. The function y = 30x − 105 represents Wayne’s elevation in feet in terms of the time in minutes he ascends. The table represents Winston’s elevation in feet in terms of the time in minutes he ascends. Assume that Wayne and Winston both ascend at a constant rate.

Wayne ascends at a faster speed

Wayne was deeper when he began ascending

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.
