ABC ~ ADE AC = 4, AE = 7, AD = 10, what is the length of AB?

Solution:

It is given that

AC = 4

AE = 7

AD = 10

We have to find the length of AB

We know that

If the figures are similar then the ratios of their corresponding sides and angles are proportional. 

We can write it as                   

AC/AE = AD/AB

By substituting the values,

4/7 = 10/AB

So we get

AB = 70/4 = 17 ½

Therefore, the length of AB is 17 ½.

AC = 4, AE = 7, AD = 10, what is the length of AB?

Summary:

AC = 4, AE = 7, AD = 10, the length of AB is 17 ½.
