Question

AB is parallel to ED.

Answer 1

Answer:

BE = 22.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ CAB and Δ CDE are similar , then ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{CB}{CE}$ = $\frac{AB}{DE}$ , substitute values

$\frac{6.4}{CE}$ = $\frac{8}{20}$ ( cross- multiply )

8 CE = 128 ( divide both sides by 8 )

CE = 16 cm

Then

BE = BC + CE = 6.4 + 16 = 22.4 cm
