Question

In the figure given below, DE||BC. If AD=2.4 cm, DB=3.6 cm and
AC=5 cm Find AE.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given:

AD = 2.4 cm, BD = 3.6 cm, AC = 5 cm.

We need to find the length of AE.

Based on the above information, a diagram of the triangle is provided below.

In ΔABC, since DE || BC, the basic proportional theorem states that

Therefore, the length of AE = 2 cm
