Answer:


DE=15 and
AB=6

Explanation:

Since they are similar, the length CE is a ratio of length AC, length CD is a ratio of length AB and length DE is a ratio of length BC.


(CE)/(AC) =(CD)/(AB) =(DE)/(BC)

Substituting the values,


(24)/(8) =(18)/(AB) =(DE)/(5)


8×
18
=24AB


AB=(144)/(24)


AB=6


8×
DE
=24×
5


DE=(120)/(8)


DE=15
