i think if the triangle BDE and BCA are similar so DE parallel CA is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay . TY (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but by using the similarity laws i got 3DC=2EA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 : EA = 1 : DC 2 : DC = 5 : EA 3 : EA = 2 : DC 1 : DC = 2 : EA

oh i thought the left numbers 4,3,2,1 is an inversed order not a part of the ratio and i did not see it is 4,2,3,1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by the way answer is C .....3:EA=2:DC
