In ΔABC, a line parallel to

and
in D and E respectively. Fill in the blanks shown in the table :

Given, In ΔABC, a line parallel to
intersects
and
in D and E respectively as shown in fig.

In
ABC, a line parallel to BC intersects AB and AC in D and E respectively.
∴
...... (i)
...... (ii)
…… (iii)
Also, AB = AD + DB and AC = AE + EC
1) AB = AD + DB
AB = 3.6 + 2.4
∴AB = 6
Now from eq (i)
![]()
![]()
AE = ![]()
AE = 2.7
But, AC = AE + EC
AC = 2.7 + 1.8 = 4.5
AC = 4.5
2) AC = AE + EC
4.2 = AE + 3.15
AE = 1.05
From eq (ii)
![]()
![]()
AD = ![]()
AD = 1.55
Then AB = AD + DB
∴ 6.2 = 1.55 + DB
DB = 4.65
3) AC = AE + EC
∴ AC = 6.4 + 8.0
AC = 14.4
∴
From eq (i)
![]()
AD = ![]()
AD = 9.6
AB = AD + DB
AB = 9.6 + 12
AB = 21.6
4) From eq (ii)
![]()
![]()
AC = ![]()
AC = 13.8
AB = AD + DB
18.4 = 7.2 + DB
DB = 18.4 – 7.2
DB = 11.2
Then, AC = AE + EC
∴ 13.8 = 5.4 + EC
EC = 8.4
5) From eq (iii)
![]()
![]()
AB = ![]()
AB = 6.8
AB = AD + DB
6.8 = AD + 3.4
AD = 3.4
AC = AE + EC
5.1 = AE + 2.55
AE = 2.55
