I have attached an image of the triangle.
BC = 9 cm
Answer:
CE = 7.2 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
In the attached triangle, we see that;
AB = AC = 7.5cm
BC = 9 cm
AD = 6cm
BC = 9cm
Formula for area of triangle is given as;
A = ½bh
Where b is base and h is height.
For the ∆ ABC with BC as base,
Area = ½ × 9 × 6 = 27 m²
Similarly, For ∆ ABC with AB as base,
Area = ½ × 7.5 × CE
Now, area from earlier is 27 cm²
Thus;
½ × 7.5 × CE = 27
Multiply both sides by 2 to get;
7.5CE = 54
CE = 54/7.5
CE = 7.2 cm
