Any similar triangle the ratio of corresponding length is equal.

that mean:

Then:


(AB)/(XY)=(BC)/(YZ)=(AC)/(XZ)

Similarly :


(ED)/(CB)=(EA)/(CA)=(DA)/(BA)

let CA is x then:


\begin{gathered} (ED)/(CB)=(EA)/(CA) \\ (10)/(5)=(12)/(x) \\ x=(12*5)/(10) \\ x=6 \end{gathered}

so value of CA is 6 units.
