Question

in triangle abc D and e are point on the side ab and ac respectively such that AD perpendicular to BC if AD = 4, AE= 8 ,DB=x-4, EC= 3x-19 , find x
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Given: In △ABC,Dand E are points on the sides AB and AC respectively such that DE || BC. AD = 4cm, AE = 8cm, DB= x-4 and EC=3x-19.

To find: x.

In△ABC. we have DE || BC

Therefon AD/DB = AE/EC [By Thale’s theorem]

4/x-4 = 8/3x-19  

4(3x-19)=8(x-4)

12x-76 = 8x-32

4x = 44

x = 11
