Question

Chords AB and CD intersect at point E, AE = 10, EB = 4, and CE = 8. Therefore, ED =

i give medals

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

5 is correct, since (CE)(ED) = (AE)(EB).

Answer 2

So here is how we are going to find out what is ED.
Based on the given figure, it states that, AE is 10, and EB is 4 and CE is 8.
So, (AE/CE)=(ED/EB)
10/8 = ED/4 <<multiply both sides by the common denominator which is 8 and the result would be:
80/8 = 8ED/4
10 = 2ED <<divide both sides by 2 and we get
ED = 5.
Therefore, the measurement of ED is 5.
