BO is double that of DO. In other words, BO is two times longer than DO. The answer is choice B

For example, if DO were 3 units long, then BO would be 6 units long (2*3 = 6). This works because the triangles DCO and BAO are similar triangles. The corresponding sides are in the same ratio or proportion to one another. The larger triangle (BAO) has sides that are twice as long as the smaller triangle's (DCO) corresponding sides.

Side note: we can prove the triangles to be similar using the AA (angle angle) similarity theorem. The first pair of angles are the vertical angles DOC and BOA which are congruent to each other.The second pair is CDB and ABD which are congruent by the alternate interior angle theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Clarifying part 3, I must say that while finding the length of arc unit of measurement matters a lot. The radian system of measurement needs to be used it is because the formula to calculate arc has been designed in such a way that you will get the answer after using "radian" system only.

Answer:

The best player in the Tiger's team made the most shots from outside the three-point line.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the best player in the Tiger's team made 11 successful shots and scored 27 points, while the best player in the Bear's team made 6 successful shots and had 14 points, to determine who made the most shots from outside the three-point line the following calculation must be performed:

3 - 2 = 1

11 x 2 = 24

27 - 24 = 3 x 1 = 3

Therefore, the best player on the Tigers made 3 three-point shots.

6 x 2 = 12

14 - 12 = 2 x 1 = 2

In turn, the Bears' best player made 2 three-point shots.

Therefore, the best player in the Tiger's team made the most shots from outside the three-point line.
