      Question

      In triangle ABC, DE is drawn parallel to side BC. If AD = 6

      cm, DB = 4 cm and AE = 9 cm, then find AC.
      A 27 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 15 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 17 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 12 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      A line drawn parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides in the same ratio.

      (AD / DB) = (AE / EC)

      => (6 / 4) = (9 / EC)

      => EC = (9 × 4) / 6 = 6 cm

      So, AC = AE + EC = 9 + 6 = 15 cm
