Question

I Need to know the missing lengths help fast

Answer 1

`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`
