The distance from E to side AD is 25/13.
<h3>
What is a distance?</h3>
- The length of the line connecting two places is the distance between them.
- If the two points are on the same horizontal or vertical line, the distance can be calculated by subtracting the non-identical values.
To find what is the distance from E to side AD:
- If you draw a diagram, you'll see that triangle AEB is a right triangle with lengths 5, 12, and 13.
- Let's call F the point where E meets side AD, so the problem is to find the length of EF.
- By Angle-Angle Similarity, triangle AFE is similar to triangle BEA. (the right angles are congruent, and both angle FAE and ABE are complementary to angle BAE)
- Since they're similar, the ratios of their side lengths are the same.
- EF/EA = EA/AB (they're corresponding side lengths of similar triangles).
Substitute them with known lengths:
- EF/5 = 5/13
- EF = 5 × (5/13) = 25/13
Therefore, the distance from E to side AD is 25/13.

These triangles are not congruent. They only have 2 sides and one angle in common, and that is not a congruency theorem.
