Hey buddy! Here's your answer!

Triangle ADE ~ Triangle ABC

AD/AB = DE/BC

2/5 = 4/x

x= 5*4/2

x = 10 cm

Hope this helps! :)


Electrodude: umm thank you for your help but the side isnt 5 cm its 3cm but anyways i didn't know how to do it so... THANK YIU!
Electrodude: *You
AccioNerd: Hey!
AccioNerd: I said AB not DB,
AccioNerd: If you take it as AD/DB it won't work
AccioNerd: i.e AD/DB is not equal to DE/BC
AccioNerd: AB = AD + DB = 2 + 3 = 5
AccioNerd: So I took it as 5 cm
AccioNerd: It's similarity
