Question

BC is parallel to DE. What is the length of CE?

A) 2 1/3
B) 2 2/3
C) 3 1/3
D)3

Answer 1

Is there supposed to be a picture

Answer 2

`2(2)/(3)`

Explanation:

Given : BC is parallel to DE

To Find : What is the length of CE?

Solution :

AB = 3

BD = 2

AC = 4

Since BC || DE

So,
`(AB)/(BD)=(AC)/(CE)`

`(3)/(2)=(4)/(CE)`

`CE=(4 * 2)/(3)`

`CE=(8)/(3)`

`CE=2(2)/(3)`

Hence the length of CE is
`2(2)/(3)`
