Question

Find the length of AB.

Answer 1

Answer

Ab=9

How I got it

AC/CB = CE/CD. Or AC/3 = 16/4.

We can solve AC to be 12. To find AB, it is AC-3 which is 9.

So AB=9

Answer 2

Answer:

Ok:

Step-by-step explanation:

So these triangles are similar. That means that the ration between their sides are the same. In this case, we have then:

AC/CB = CE/CD. Or AC/3 = 16/4.

We can solve AC to be 12. To find AB, it is AC-3 which is 9.

So AB=9
