in the figure below, BD is parallel to AE. What is the length of CE ?

Answer:
CE = 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Thales
CB/CA = BD/AE
CA = CB×AE/BD
= 8×18/6
= 144/6
= 24
Pithagora
CE = √CA² + AE²
= √24² + 18²
= √576 + 324
= √900
= 30
Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
CD² = 8² + 6²
CD² = 100
CD = 10
10/CE = 6/18
10/CE = 1/3
CE = 3 × 10
CE = 30
