AB//ED. SUPPOSE THAT AC=9,AE=15,AND BC=10,FIND CD? NO ANGLES ARE GIVEN OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
If you draw a line inside of a triangle that is parallel to one of the sides, then the small triangle is similar to the original triangle. Use the proportionality of corresponding parts of similar triangles to establish relationships between known and unknown parts.
And stop typing in all caps. That is the electronic equivalent of shouting and is both annoying and rude.
