Question

Help, please? What is the length of EC in the triangle below?

Answer 1

divide the side with its perpendicular bisector
\[\frac{ CE }{ AB }=\frac{ DB }{ AC }\]

Answer 2

we set up this ratio since the area of the shape is preserved if we use either height
so
\[\frac{ CE }{ 8}=\frac{ 9 }{ 6 }\]

Answer 3

find CE

Answer 4

?????????? Confused. @jonask

Answer 5

cross multiply

Answer 6

8 x EC = 9 x6

EC = 9x6/8
