In the diagram ABAD ACAE BCDE Solve for x and y x y So

In the diagram, AB/AD = AC/AE = BC/DE. Solve for x and y. x = _________ y = _________

Solution

Solution:

Given that

AB/AD = AC/AE

(12+x) / 12 = 15/9

108- 9x = 180

9x = 72

x = 8

Now again

AC/AE = BC/DE

15/9 = (y+4)/y

15y =9y+36

6y = 36

y = 6
