Explanation:
We can use ratios to solve
CB CD
------ = -----------
CA CE
5x 20
---- = --------
45 36
Using cross products
5x * 36 = 45* 20
180x = 900
Divide by 180
x = 900/180
x =5
D. 5
You can use proportions to solve this.
36/45=20/5x
Cross multiply the 5x and 36 as well as the 45 and 20
180x=900
Then, divide the 900 by 180
