Question

In the given figure, DE // BC, AB = 6cm, Ac = 8cm
and CE = 5cm. Find the length of BD​

Answer 1

Answer:

11.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the tHales theorem [as DE||BC]

let BD =x so then,

AB / AC = CF / BD

6/ 8 = 5/x

6x = 40

x = 40/6 = 6.6

BD = CF + BD = 5 + 6.6 = 11.6
