Answer:
y = 16x/65
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Triangle ABE is similar to triangle ACD. AED and ABC are straight lines
EB and DC are parallel
The area of quadrilateral BCDE = xcm²
The area of triangle ABE = ycm²
Find attached the diagram from the above information.
In similar triangles, the ratio of their corresponding angles are equal.
Also, the ratio of the area of the two triangles = square of ratio of the corresponding sides of the two triangles.
Area ∆ACD/area of ∆ABE = (DC/EB)²
Area ∆ACD/area of ∆ABE = [(area of quadrilateral BCDE +
area of ∆ABE)]/(area of ∆ABE)
(x+y)/y = (DC/EB)²
(x+y)/y = (9/4)²
x+y = (81/16)y
x = (81/16)y - y
x = (81y - 16y)/16
x = 65y/16
Making y subject of formula
16x = 65y
y = 16x/65
An expression for y in terms of x:
y = 16x/65
