In $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}, \mathrm{D}$ is the mid-point of side $\mathrm{AC}$ and $\mathrm{E}$ is a point on side $\mathrm{AB}$ such that $\mathrm{EC}$ bisects $\mathrm{BD}$ at $\mathrm{F}$. If $\mathrm{AE}=30 \mathrm{~cm}$, then the length of EB is: |
20 cm 10 cm 18 cm 15 cm |
15 cm |
Draw line parallel to EC from point D on side AE at G. DG is parallel to EC In \(\Delta \)AEC, DG is parallel to EC = \(\frac{AG}{GE}\) = \(\frac{AD}{DC}\) = AG = GE as AD = DC Similarly, GD is parallel to EF for \(\Delta \)BGD, = \(\frac{EB}{EG}\) = \(\frac{BF}{FD}\) = EB = GE as BF = BD = AE = AG + GE = 30 = AG = GE = 15 Therefore, EB is 15 cm. |
