Answer:

AE = 3

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find corresponding sides that are defined in both figures. The table below shows the given values.

From the table, we can write the proportion ...

EA/RS = BC/TU . . . corresponding sides are proportional

EA/6 = 4/8 . . . . . . . substitute given lengths

EA = 6(4/8) = 3

The length of AE is 3 units.
