Since BE and CD are parallel, triangles ABE and ACD are similar, meaning their side lengths are proportional.

AC = AB + BC = 1 + 3.5 = 4.5

The proportion of AB to AC (corresponding sides of two similar triangles) is 1 / 4.5

Let x be the variable that represents the unknown length of AE

The proportion of AE to AD (another set of corresponding sides of two similar triangles) is x / 18

Since the triangles are similar, these two proportions must be equal.

1 / 4.5 = x / 18

Cross multiply

4.5x = 18

Divide both side by 4.5

x = 4

The length of AE is 4, no need to round since the answer is already a whole number.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

Answer:

4.0

Step-by-step explanation:

AB / AC = AE / AD

1 / 4.5 = AE / 18

4.5 AE = 18

AE = 4.0

Work out the length of the following rectangles
tiny-mole [99]

(a) a = 10.9 cm

(b) b = 20.78 cm

(c) c = 4.06 cm

<u>Explanation:</u>

(a)

height, h = 5cm

Hypotenuse, H = 12cm

Base, a = ?

Using pythagoras theorm:

(H)² = (h)² + (a)²

(12)² = (5)² + (a)²

119 = a²

a = 10.9 cm

(b)

Hypotenuse, H = 24 cm

Base, a = 12 cm

Height, b = ?

Using pythagoras theorm:

(H)² = (b)² + (a)²

(24)² = (b)² + (12)²

432 = b²

b = 20.78 cm

(c)

height, h = 4 cm

Hypotenuse, H = 5.7 cm

Base, c = ?

Using pythagoras theorm:

(H)² = (h)² + (c)²

(5.7)² = (4)² + (c)²

16.49 = c²

c = 4.06 cm
