Question

Number 4 plssss!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

AB = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Tales' theorem

$\frac{12}{14} =\frac{18}{AB}$

$AB=\frac{(14)(18)}{12}$

$AB=21$

Hope this helps

Answer 2

(i)Given that:

AE || BD

AB = ? [Let AB be x]

BC = 3

ED = 12

DC = 4

We know that

By Basic Proportionality Theorem,

AB/BC = ED/DC

On substituting these values in the above formula

⇛ AB / 3 = 12 / 4

On applying cross multiplication then

⇛ x(4) = (12)3

⇛ 4x = 36

Shift the number 4 from LHS to RHS.

⇛ x = 36÷4

⇛ x = 36/4

Therefore, AB = 9

Answer: The value of AB for the given problem is 9.

Similarly,

(ii) Given that:

EB || DC

AE = 14

ED = 12

AB = ? [Let AB be X]

BC = 18

We know that

By Basic Proportionality Theorem,

AE / ED = AB / BC

On substituting these values in the above formula

⇛ 14 / 12 = x / 18

On applying cross multiplication then

⇛ 14(18) = (12)x

⇛ 252 = 12x

Shift the number 252 from LHS to RHS.

⇛ X = 256÷12

⇛ X = 21

Therefore, AB = 21

Answer: The value of AB for the given problem is 21

Additional comment:

Basic Proportionality Theorem

• " A line drawn parallel to the one side of a triangle intersecting other two sides at two different points, then the line divides the other two sides in the same ratio".
