Answer:

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

Answer:BE is equal to 72.

Step-by-step explanation: They are similar triangles. We know CD and BC. So we can find the comparison between the two. And we see that BC x 7 = CD. So the same will be said for BF and FE. We have BF is equal to 9. So 9 x 7 = 63. However, now we need to add the two together in order to get BE. Because BF + FE = BE. So 9 + 63 = 72
