Question

Use the figure to answer the questions.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Triangle ABE is similar to Triangle DCE by Angle-Angle-Angle postulate.

b) 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) angle A = angle D

And

angle B = angle C

(Alternate angles)

Angle AEB = Angle DEC

(Vertically opposite angles)

All three angles are equal, hence triangles are similar

b)

AB/DC = AE/DE

6/15 = y/10

y = 6×10/15

y = 4
