Question on: WAEC Mathematics - 1999
In the diagram, DE||BC, |AD| = x cm and |DB| = |AE| = ycm. Find |CE| in terms of x and y
A
x
B
\(\frac{x^2}{y}\)
C
\(\frac{y}{x^2}\)
D
\(\frac{y^2}{x}\)
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: D
\(\frac{x}{x+y}=\frac{y}{x+CE}\
xy + xCE = xy + y^2\
∴xCE = y^2\
CE=\frac{y^2}{x}\)
xy + xCE = xy + y^2\
∴xCE = y^2\
CE=\frac{y^2}{x}\)
