Question

Given the parallelogram if a AC equals 10 then AE equals?

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

The figure ABCD is a parallelogram so AC and BD are bisected, which means that AE = EC are equal, therefore, we can determine the value of AE like this:

`\begin{gathered} AC=AE+EC \\ AE=EC \\ AC=2AE \\ AE=(AC)/(2) \\ \text{ replacing} \\ AE=(10)/(2) \\ AE=5 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the answer is a. 5
