In triangle ABC AB = 15 cm, AC = 10 cm, AD is the bisector A. From point D a straight line is drawn parallel

In triangle ABC AB = 15 cm, AC = 10 cm, AD is the bisector A. From point D a straight line is drawn parallel to AB until it intersects with AC at point E. Find AE, EC, DE.

DE || AB, ΔСDE is similar to ABC, then DE / CE = AB / AC = 15/10 = 1.5

angle BAD = angle ADE (parallel straight lines are cut by straight line AD)

angle ADE = angle DAE (AD bisector)

ΔАDE is isosceles, АЕ = DE, we will compose the system

DE / CE = 1.5

DE + CE = 10, because (AE + CE = 10), we solve

1.5 * CE + CE = 10

CE = 4

AE = DE = 6
