Answer» Answer: The basic proportionality theorem STATES that if a LINE is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle and it intersects the other two sides at two distinct points then it DIVIDES the two sides in the same ratio. It is given that AD=8 CM, AB=12 cm and AE=12 cm. Using the basic proportionality theorem, we have AB AD
= AC AE
= BC DE
⇒ AB AD
= AC AE
⇒ 12 8
= AC 12
⇒8AC=12×12 ⇒8AC=144 ⇒AC= 8 144
=18 Now, CE=AC−AE=18−12=6 cm Hence, CE=6 cm. |
