AC=CE and D is the midpoint of CE. If CE = 10x+18 DE = 7x-1 and BC = 9x-3 find AB
1 answer:
We know the CE = 10x + 18 and DE = 7x - 1 and D is the midpoint of CE
⇒ CE = 2 * DE
⇒ 10x + 18 = 2 * (7x - 1)
⇒ 10x + 18 = 14x - 2
⇒ -4x = -20
⇒ x = 5
Now we also know that BC = 9x - 3 and AC = CE = 10x + 18
⇒ AB = AC - BC
⇒ AB = 10x + 18 - (9x - 3)
⇒ AB = x + 21
Substituting the value of x,
⇒ AB = 5 + 21
⇒ AB = 26
Hence, the value of AB is 26 units.
