Answer:

DE=4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been provided a graph of a triangle and we are asked to find the length of segment DE.

Angle bisector theorem states that if a ray bisects an angle of a triangle, then it bisects the opposite side of triangle into segments that are proportional to other two sides.

By angle bisector theorem we can set proportions of the given sides as:

\frac{DE}{EK}=\frac{DF}{FK}

Upon substituting our given values in above proportion we will get,

\frac{DE}{2}=\frac{10}{5}

Upon multiplying both sides of our equation by 2 we will get,

\frac{DE}{2}\times 2=2\times \frac{10}{5}

DE=2\times 2

DE=4

Therefore, the length of segment DE is 4 units.
