Answers

  2. Answer:
    9 m
    Step-by-step explanation:
    ΔABC and ΔADE are similar. That means:
    the sides corresponding to each other are proportional.
    We can set up ratio for two triangle and solve for DE.
    AB corresponds to AD (AB + BD)
    and
    BC corresponds to DE
    hence, the length of DE is 9 m
