Given:
The figure of a triangle.
To find:
The missing length.
Solution:
Let x be the missing length.
Basic proportionality theorem(BPT): According to this theorem, if a line is parallel to the one side of a triangle then that the line intersects the other two sides of the triangle in the same ratio.
Using Basic proportionality theorem, we get
Adding x on both sides, we get
The missing length is 3 Therefore, the correct option is D.
