Question 617361: Look at the figure shown below.

The figure shows triangle ABC. A segment joins point D on side BC and point E on side BA. Segment BD is 18 and segment BE is 14.

Which statement must be true to prove that segment DE is parallel to segment CA?
Answer

1 : EA = 2 : DC

4 : DC = 1 : EA

6 : DC = 7 : EA

7 : EA = 9 : DC
