Given: ABC is a triangle , DE parallel BC and AD= 3 cm, DB=2 cm and DE=6 cm
To find: AE
sol: Since DE parallel BC
angle ADE= angle ABC (corresponding angles)
and angle AED = angle ACB ( " )
Triangle ADE ≈ triangle ABC ( by AA similarity)
therefore , AD/AB=DE/BC=AE/AC (1)
From (1)
AD/AB=AE/AC
2/5=x/18
2×18=5x
36=5x
x=36/5
x=7.5cm
∵ AE = 7.5 cm
