The answer you're looking for is -2

12 - 2×(-2)=16

8×4+(-2)=16

What is the length of segment AE?

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

$AE=\frac{50}{3}\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

In the right triangle ABC

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem fin the hypotenuse AC

$AC^{2} =AB^{2}+BC^{2}$

substitute

$AC^{2} =6^{2}+8^{2}$

$AC^{2} =100$

$AC =10\ units$

step 2

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal

$\frac{AB}{CD}=\frac{AC}{CE}$

substitute and solve for CE

$\frac{6}{4}=\frac{10}{CE}\\ \\CE=4*10/6\\ \\CE=\frac{20}{3}\ units$

step 3

Find the length of segment AE

AE=AC+CE

substitute the values

$AE=10\ units+\frac{20}{3}\ units=\frac{50}{3}\ units$
