Question 169639: The Question reads:
The folling figures are pairs of similar triangles with some dimensions given. Find the measure of the indicated sides.
(2 triangles, one is inside the other)
Bigger triangle is ACD
Smaller triangle is ABE (inside of ACD)
Angle ACD equal to 90 degrees
Angle ABE equal to 90 degrees
Segment AB is equal to 6
Segment AE is equal to 10
Segment CD is equal to 14
Find segment AC, BE, and AD

Let's draw the pairs of Triangles to have a clearer view:
.
We get 1st Angle , which will be very helpful:
By Trigo Function:
.
We solve for ?, by Pyth.Teorem:
---------->
We solve for ?, by Trigo function:
We solve for ?, by Trigo function:
