Answer 2

Answer:

$CE=15$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: It is given that BC is parallel to DE and AD=2m, AE=3m, DB=1m.

To find: The value of CE

Solution:  It is given that BC is parallel to DE and AD=2m, AE=3m, DB=1m, since BC is parallel to De, thus using the basic proportionality theorem in ΔABC, we have

$\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{AE}{AC}$

⇒$\frac{2}{2+10}=\frac{3}{3+CE}$

⇒$\frac{2}{12}=\frac{3}{3+CE}$

⇒$\frac{1}{6}=\frac{3}{3+CE}$

⇒$3+CE=18$

⇒$CE=18-3$

⇒$CE=15$

therefore, the value of CE is 15 meters.
