In figure if AD = 6cm, DB =9cm,AE=8cm and EC = 12cm and $∠ A D E = 48^{o}$ . Find $∠ A B C$

Open in App

Solution

$\frac{A D}{A B} = \frac{6}{6 + 9} = \frac{6}{15} = \frac{2}{5}$ ;
$\frac{A E}{A C} = \frac{8}{20} = \frac{2}{5}$ ;
$\Rightarrow$ Sides of $Δ$ ADE & $Δ$ ABC are in same proportion.
$\Rightarrow$ $Δ$ ADE $\sim Δ$ ABC
$\Rightarrow ∠$ ADE $= ∠$ ABC $= 48^{o}$ .
