Can someone please help me?????

Answer 1

Hello there,

The answer is 8 units

Answer 2

8

Explanation:

To solve for ED, create proportion between the two similar triangles.

`(Big Side)/(Big Side) =(little side)/(little side)`

where Big represents the bigger triangle an little represents the smaller triangle.

`(2x+4)/(9)=(x+4)/(6)`

Cross multiply and solve for x.

9(x+4)=6(2x+4)

9x+36=12x+24

9x+36-24=12x+24-24

9x+12=12x

9x-9x+12=12x-9x

12=3x

4=x

Lastly substitute the value into ED which is x+4.

4+4=8
