Answer:
BE = 22.4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Δ CAB and Δ CDE are similar , then ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
[tex]\frac{CB}{CE}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{AB}{DE}[/tex] , substitute values
[tex]\frac{6.4}{CE}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{20}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
8 CE = 128 ( divide both sides by 8 )
CE = 16 cm
Then
BE = BC + CE = 6.4 + 16 = 22.4 cm
