Solution

(i)
In ADE andABC,ADE=ABC [Corresponding angles, as DEBC]AED=ACB [Corresponding angles, as DEBC] Therefore, by AA similarity test,ADE ~ABC Therefore, ADAB=DEBC=EACA ADAB=DEBC We know that ADDB=54.DBAD=45DB+ADAD=4+55ABAD=95ADAB=59Therefore, DEBC=59.

(ii)
In DOE andCOB,DEO=CBO [Alternate angles]EDO=BCO [Alternate angles]Therefore, by AA similarity,DOE~COBTherefore, DOCO=OEOB=EDBCDOCO=EDBCDOCO=59CODO=95

CO+DODO=9+55DCDO=145DODC=514

Hence, DO:DC=5:14

(iii)

Construction :Draw EFDC.From (ii), we know that DO:DC=5:14.ADOEADCE=12×DO×EF12×DC×EF =DODC =514Hence, ADOE:ADCE=5:14.
