Use context clues to define the word in italics. Egyptians would preserve bodies as mummies. This would slow down the body's decaying process.
What does the word preserve mean?

e

step-by-step explanation:

an equation by definition has to have two or more variables (x and 2 in this case)

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.
