Question

Triangle BCD is similar to triangle ACE if these triangles are isosceles what is the length of AB?

Answer 1

40

Explanation:

As it is stated, the triangles are similar to find the length of AB we can use the proportion of sides'

Let x represent the missing length

BD/AE = CD/CE

(2.76)/22 = 5/x cross multiply expressions:

x(2.75) = 110 divide both sides by 2.75

x = 40
