Question

What is the length of segment AE?

Answer 1

By looking at the bottom length of both triangles, we can determine the scale from one to the other.

C-E = 30 units
D-F = 28 units

This can be translated as the fraction 15/14.

So if we look back at the possible answers, both B and C are likely candidates for being the answer.

But to get the answer, we multiply 24 X (15/14).

Which is 25.7, or 25 and 5/7.  Your answer is C.
