Answer» Answer: AC=8.8 cm Explanation: In ΔABC, D and E are the points on sides AB and AC respectively such that DE parallel to BC as SHOWN in attach figure. AD:DB=3:1 or If EA=6.6 cm Using BASIC PROPORTIONALITY theorem, In a triangle a line is drawn parallel to ONE side of a triangle and intersect the other two side at distinct points, the other two sides are divided in the same ratio. Substitute the value of AD:DB and AE. We get EC=2.2 cm We need to find length of AC. AC=AE+EC AC=6.6+2.2 AC=8.8 cm mark me as the brainiest Step-by-step explanation: |
