Answer:

CE = 25

Explanation:

if a line is parallel to a side of a triangle and it intersects the other two sides, then id divides those sides proportionally, that is


(BE)/(CE) =
(AD)/(DC) ( substitute values )


(35-CE)/(CE) =
(8)/(20) =
(2)/(5) ( cross- multiply )

2CE = 5(35 - CE)

2CE = 175 - 5CE ( add 5CE to both sides )

7CE = 175 ( divide both sides by 7 )

CE = 25
