Question

quadrilateral abcd is a rectangle ab = 12 cm , bc = 8cm, b-e-c , be = 5cm find ef and cf​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given figure, let CE=CF=x

It is also given that AB=12 cm, BC=8 cm and AC=10 cm, therefore,

AF=AD=10−x

BE=BD=8−x

Now consider,

AB=AD+BD

⇒12=10−x+8−x

⇒12=18−2x

⇒2x=18−12

⇒2x=6

⇒x= 6/2

=3

Therefore, CE=x=3 cm, AF=10−3=7 cm and BD=8−3=5 cm

Hence, CE=3 cm, AF=7 cm and BD=5 cm.
