(b) Now, assume that any time a loading dock contains at least 5 crates, a truck picks up 5 crates from that dock and ships them away. (e. g., if 6 crates are sent to a loading dock, the truck removes 5, leaving 1 leftover crate still in the dock). We will now consider two configurations to be identical if, for every loading dock, the two confirgurations have the same number of leftover crates in that dock. How would your answer in the previous part compare to the number of outcomes given the new setup

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.
