Solve the problem and indicate the best of the answer choices
given. Numbers: All numbers used are real numbers.
Figures: All figures accompanying problem solving questions are intended to provide information
useful in solving the problems. Figures are drawn as accurately as possible. Exceptions will
be dearly noted. Lines shown as straight are straight, and lines that appear jagged are also
straight. The positions of points, angles, regions, etc., exist in the order shown, and angle
measures are greater than zero. All figures lie in a plane unless otherwise indicated.
