Question

Segment bc is parallel to De. Use the proportion from a B to BD to find the missing length of CE

Answer 1

CE = 6

Explanation:

we use the proportion relationship:

`(AB)/(BD) = (AC)/(CE\\)\\then`

`(2)/(3) = (4)/(CE)\\\\then`

2×CE = 3 ×4 (cross multiply)

then

2×CE = 12

then

CE = 12/2 = 6
