Question

In the ∆ABC, D and E are points on side AB and AC respectively such that DE II BC. If AE=2cm, AD=3cm and BD=4.5cm, then find CE.

Answer 1

Answer:

3cm

Step-by-step explanation:

since in triangle ABC,

DE || BC (given)

using basic proportionality theorem, we get,

AD/DB = AE/EC

=> 3/4.5 = 2/EC

=> EC = 4.5×2/3

=> EC = 3cm

HOPE THIS HELPS!!

Answer 2

Answer:

3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

DE // BC (given)

by BPT

AD/BD  = AE/CE

3/4.5 = 2/CE

3 CE = 9

CE = 3CM
