I need this by midnight! does anyone know how to find a b and c? thank you!

Step-by-step explanation:

The two sentences are not identical, Vlad. The first means "I am not exactly sure when I will be home,but I am guessing that I will be home before midnight". THe second one means" It is necessary for me to be home before midnight", maybe the speaker will be in trouble if he is late.

"I should be home by midnight" can mean either of the two sentences you wrote. You can call someone and say "I should be home by midnight" if they ask you when you will home. This means #1.

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.
