|DF| = |DE| + |EF|

|DF| = 9x -36

|DE| = 47

|EF| = 3x+10

Substitute:

9x - 39 = 47 + 3x + 10

9x - 39 = 3x + 57 |+39

9x = 3x + 96 |-3x

6x = 96 |:6

x = 16

Put the value of x to the equation |EF| = 3x + 10

|EF| = (3)(16) + 10 = 48 + 10 = 58

Answer: |EF| = 58

Answer: The required length of EF is 58 units.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that DF = 9x - 39, DE = 47 units and EF = 3x + 10.

We are to find the length of EF.

We have

$DE+EF=DF\\\\\Rightarrow 47+(3x+10)=9x-39\\\\\Rightarrow 3x+57=9x-39\\\\\Rightarrow 9x-3x=57+39\\\\\Rightarrow 6x=96\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{96}{6}\\\\\Rightarrow x=16.$

Therefore, the length of EF is given by

$EF=3\imes16+10=48+10=58.$

Thus, the required length of EF is 58 units.

Suppose given △ABD and △CBD.

patriot [66]

Answer:

The required result is proved with the help of angle bisector theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given △ABD and △CBD, AE and CE are the angle bisectors. we have to prove that $\frac{AD}{AB}=\frac{DC}{CB}$

Angle bisector theorem states that an angle bisector of an angle of a Δ divides the opposite side in two segments that are proportional to the other two sides of triangle.

In ΔADB, AE is the angle bisector

∴ the ratio of the length of side DE to length BE is equal to the ratio of the line segment AD to the line segment AB.

$\frac{DE}{EB}=\frac{AD}{AB}$ → (1)
