Question

Pleaseeeee helpppp !!!!!!!! Will mark Brianliest !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

These are similar triangles.

By changing the length of the base of the corresponding triangle, the 3 interior angles of this triangle remain equal to the original

Therefore, if these triangles are similar, their corresponding sides must give equal ratios to each other:

This means that BF/FE = BC/CD=FC/ED

The total length of line segment BD=BC+CD; BC=6, CD=42; BD=6+42, BD=48

BE=BF+FE; BE=9+?

if BF/FE=BC/CD then 9/BE=6/42; 6/42=3/21 or 1/7. 9/BE=1/7; 1/7=9/BE

1x9=9, 7x9=63

63=BE

Explanation:

Answer 2

so this uses proportions.

you need to find the side BF which is proportional to the side BF.

You do:

9/6=x/42

and cross multiply

9*42=6*x

378=6x

divide by 6 on both sides

x=63

the answer is 63
