प्रश्न

D and E are points on the sides AB and AC respectively of a ΔABC such that DE║BC.

If` (AD)/(AB) = 8/15 and EC = 3.5cm`, find AE.

उत्तर

In Δ ABC, it is given that DE ‖ BC.
Applying Thales’ theorem, we get:

`(AD)/(AB) = (AE)/(AC)`

⟹ `8/15 = (AE)/(AE + EC)`

⟹ `8/15 = (AE)/(AE + 3.5)`

⟹ 8AE + 28 = 15AE

⟹ 7AE = 28

⟹ AE = 4cm
