Question

In triangle ABC ,D is a point in AB and and E is a point in AC such that De Parallel BC if AD :DB=3:5 and AC =4.8 cm, find AE​

Answer 1

Answer:

AE=1.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

as DE is parallel to BC so AE:EC will be also 3:5.

now if we add 3+5=8

AC=4.8 cm(given)

now 8 parts=4.8

so 1 part become=4.8÷8=0.6

now AE = 3×0.6=1.8 cm
