Question

11. Find the value of x. x=______

Answer 1

Answer: x = 3.5

Step-by-Step Solution:

Let us first label the figure.

Let the Triangle be ABC with a line DE || BC.

Now, in ∆ABC,

DE || BC (given)

=> AD/DB = AE/EC (by B.P.T)

Substituting the given values,

AD/DB = AE/EC

2/4 = x/7

1/2 = x/7

2x = 7

x = 7/2

=> x = 3.5

Therefore, x = 3.5
