In triangle ABC, D is a point on AB and E is a point on AC such that DE || BC. If $\frac{A D}{A B}$ = $\frac{A E}{x}$ , Then $x$ is
___.

Solution

In $△$ ABC,

DE $∥$ BC (Given)

Therefore, $\frac{A D}{A B}$ = $\frac{A E}{A C}$ [By Basic Proportionality Theorem]

Comparing the above with $\frac{A D}{A B}$ = $\frac{A E}{x}$

$x$ = AC
