By aaa criteria...triamgle ade~abc Ad/ab=de/bc...2/5=6/bc...hence bc=15cm...

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
