Answer:

CE= 18

Step-by-step explanation:

A, B, C, D, and E are collinear points

$AE=AB +BC+CD+DE$

BD = 16, and AB = BC =CD

BD=BC+CD, BC =CD

So $BD= BC+BC$

$16=2BC$

BC= 8

$AB = BC =CD$

AB= 8, BC=8, CD= 8, E= 34

$AE=AB +BC+CD+DE$

$34=8+8+8+DE$

$34=24+DE$ , subtract 24 from both sides

DE= 10

$CE= CD+DE$

$CE= 8+10$

CE= 18

18. Drawn out we know that bc and cd are equal. Bd is 16 so bc and cd are both 8.

In the diagram below, GH is parallel to DE . If GH is 3 more than EH FH=10, and DE=12 find the length of EH. Figures are not nec

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $\overline{GH} \parallel \overline{DE}$ , by the corresponding angles theorem, $\angle FGH \cong \angle FDE, \angle FHG \cong \angle FED$ . This means $\triangle FGH \sim \triangle FDE$ by AA.

As corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional,

$\frac{10}{x+3}=\frac{10+x}{12}\\(10)(12)=(10+x)(x+3)\\120=x^{2}+13x+30\\x^{2}+13x-90=0\\(x+18)(x-5)=0\\x=-18, 5$
However, as distance must be positive, we consider the positive solution, x=5.
