OpenStudy (javk):

umm...you switched up D and E by mistake they must have given you some value to be able to calculate the length

OpenStudy (javk):

If we were to connect the points D and F as well |dw:1413464891336:dw| We will be creating two different sets of similar triangles set 1: triangle ABC and triangle CDE are similar triangles and the ratio of corresponding sides 2:1, the length of CD being half the length of BC set 2: triangle CDF and triangle CBE

then

@Javk what is the next step :(

OpenStudy (javk):

The lengths BD = CD = 5 EF = CF = 4 AE = CE
