Answer:

4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

BD and AC are chords that intersect at point Y. A circle is shown. Chords B D and A C intersect at point Y. The length of B Y is 3, the length of Y D is 8, the length of A Y is x, and the length of Y C is 6. What is the length of line segment AY?

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

The Intersecting Chord Theorem states that: When two chords intersect each other inside a circle,the products of their segments are equal.

In this problem

substitute the given values

solve for x

therefore

The length of segment AY is 4 units

Which glide reflection describes the mapping triangle ABC triangleDEF?

ZanzabumX [31]

In order to visualize the transformations, we must execute the transformation in the options

The first transformation would shift triangle ABC 3 units to the left and reflect it across x = 4. This will not map ABC unto DEF.

The second transformation would shift triangle ABC 7 units down and reflect it across x =4. This will map ABC unto DEF,

So, the answer is the second option.
