d and e are two points respectively on sides ab and ac of triangle abc such that de is parallel to bc . if the ratio of area of triangle ade to that of the trapezium decb is 144 : 25 and de = 13 cm , then find the length of bc .
abc and ade are similar triangles . so ( side of abc / side of ade ) ^ 2 = 25 / 169 side of abc / side of ade = 5 / 13 so the length of bc = 5 answer - a
multiply(sqrt(divide(25, add(25, 144))), 13)
