Question

. If CD = 4 and the perimeter of △ABC is 23, what is the perimeter of △ABE?

Answer 1

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

ABC has a perimeter of 23, so

   AB + BC + AC = 23

The perimeter of ABE would be the sum of these sides:

  AB + BC + CD + DE + AE

We also know:

  AE = AC, CD=4 and DE=4 because ACD is congruent to AED

So, AB + BC + CD + DE + AE = AB + BC + 4 + 4+ AC = 23+8 = 31
