Question

Point D is located on the segment CE. If CD = 24 and DE = x and CE = 5x, what is the measurement of segment CE

Answer 1

30

Explanation:

If point D is located on the segment CE, then point C, D and E lies on the same line i.e they are collinear. Mathematically, CD+DE = CE

Given CD = 24 and DE = x and CE = 5x, on substituting this values in the equation we have;

Since CE = 5x, CE = 5(6) = 30
