Question

given triangle ABC whose sides are AB = 15 in. AC 25 in. and BC 30 in. . from a point D on side AB, a line DE is drawn to a point E on side AC such that angle ADE is equal to angle ABC. If the perimeter of triangle ADE is 28 in. in find the lengths of line segments and CE?

Answer 1

do u have the diagram?

Answer 2

you knw the perimeter of ADE
find the perimeter of ABC also
and take ratio of both, you wud get scale factor

Answer 3

how

Answer 4

how for what question ?

Answer 5

how to answer the problem show solution pls and explain

Answer 6

did u take time to read my reply above ?

Answer 7

find the perimeter of ABC first

Answer 8

well for its perimeter just add the three right?

Answer 9

so basically its 70

Answer 10

then?

Answer 11

Correct !

Answer 12

scale factor = 70/28 = 5/2

Answer 13

did u get, this far ?

Answer 14

yeah thats exactly what i did

Answer 15

wer my question

Answer 16

but it doesnt answer my question

Answer 17

well you know the scale factor, you have sides of one triangle. you can find the sides of other triangle, by multiplying the scale factor

Answer 18

how? I cant understand

Answer 19

btw,
scale factor = 28/70 = 2/5
