Answer:

EA =
(50)/(3)

Explanation:

Δ CEA and Δ CDB are similar by the AA postulate. Then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion , that is


(EA)/(DB) =
(CE)/(CD) ( substitute values )


(EA)/(10) =
(9+6)/(9) =
(15)/(9) ( cross- multiply )

9 EA = 150 ( divide both sides by 9 )

EA =
(150)/(9) =
(50)/(3)
