Answer:
37.7m
Explanation:
Triangle ABC is shown. DE is a straight line with D on AC and E on BC AB = 46m, EC = 18m, CD = 29m and ED = 20m. Calculate the length AD.
We solve using Similarity Theorem
BA/AC =BD/DC
46/AD+29 = 20/29
Cross Multiply
46 × 29 =20 (AD + 29)
1334 = 20AD + 580
20AD = 1334 - 580
20AD = 754
AD = 754/20
AD = 37.7m
