ok you need to find DE.. then use the parallel property

raden · Answer

let the length of AB = x
because triangle AEC similar with BED, so
AC/AE = BD/BE
7/(x+10) = 6/10
6(x+10) = 7*10
6x+60=70
6x=70-60
6x=10
x=10/6=5/3= ....? (it can convert to mix fraction or decimal)

anonymous · Answer

how do i find it

anonymous · Answer

then again appy pythagores theorem to by cosidering the length as x

raden · Answer

lol, use ur calculator : 5/3=...  ?

anonymous · Answer

consider the triangle DBE first

anonymous · Answer

find DE using pythagores theorem

raden · Answer

@Rosh007, DBE is not a right triangle but acute triangle

anonymous · Answer

Ow,,,, sorry.. that is right,,....
