Question

Math question, help please.

Answer 1

Answer: EB = 20

Explanation:

Hi there. I'm sending you a picture of how the triangle looks like with the sides identified by their values. Given that AB | DE, meaning that they are proportional, then we can assume this:

- AD | EB

- CD | CE

We can also set this ratio up:

`(15)/(EB) = (21)/(28)`

Cross multiply the proportion and then divide, to find the value of EB:

`15 * 28 / 21=20`

Side EB should be equal to 20.

Answer 2

EB =20

Explanation:

CD : DA = CE : EB

21 : 15 = 28 : EB

21*EB = 28*15

EB = 28*15/21 = 20
