Answer:

Since we have BC ║ DE, we know that:

AB/AD = BC/DE

12/(12 + 4) = BC/12

12/16 = BC/12

BC = (12 · 12)/16 = 9 (in)

Applying the pythagorean, we have:

AB² + BC² = AC²

12² + 9²     = AC²

225           = AC²

AC             = √225 = 15 (in)

Using the information about the parallel lines again, we have:

AC/CE = AB/BD

15/CE = 12/4

CE = (15 · 4)/12 = 5 (in)

So the answer is B

Please help me solve this (ASAP)
joja [24]
Since complementary angles add to 90°, (4x - 1) and (5x + 19), also add to 90°.

Thus, lets form an equation:

90 = 5x + 19 + 4x - 1
72 = 9x
x = 9

Thus, the measure of angle B is 64°.
