Explanation:

For Question 22:

Step1: Find central angle of $\overset{\frown}{AD}$

$\angle AOD = 2\angle C = 2\times60^\circ=120^\circ$

Step2: Relate arc length to radius

Arc length formula: $l=\frac{\theta}{360^\circ}\times2\pi r$. Substitute $l=10\pi$, $\theta=120^\circ$:
$10\pi=\frac{120^\circ}{360^\circ}\times2\pi r$
Simplify: $10\pi=\frac{2\pi r}{3}$
Solve for $r$: $r=\frac{10\pi\times3}{2\pi}=15$
So diameter $AC=2r=30$

Step3: Find $DC$ in right $\triangle BCD$

$\angle CBD=90^\circ$, $\angle C=60^\circ$, so $\angle BDC=30^\circ$. In $\triangle ADC$, $\angle ADC=90^\circ$ (angle subtended by diameter), $\angle C=60^\circ$, so $DC=\frac{1}{2}AC=15$

Step4: Calculate $BC$

Use $\cos60^\circ=\frac{BC}{DC}$:
$BC=DC\times\cos60^\circ=15\times\frac{1}{2}=7.5$

Option A uses the distance formula to calculate the lengths of diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ using the coordinate points of the trapezoid, simplifies both lengths to show they are equal, then uses the transitive property of equality to prove congruence. Options B and C do not logically connect the angle properties to diagonal congruence in a valid, complete way.

Answer:

C. 7.5
