:: m (LA) = m(LE) :: A ABC - AEDC and we deduce that :

AB – BC = AC : = be = ECO :: DC = 388 = 4 cm.

:: BD = BC + DC = 8 + 4 = 12 cm. .. The length of the projection of AE on BD = 12 cm.
(The req.)

Try by yourself In the opposite figure : ABC is a triangle in which AB = BC = 5 cm.) AC = 8

cm , AD 1 CB and BE 1 AC Complete the following: 1 The projection of AB on BC is ..........
2 The length of the projection of AB on AC = 3 The projection of AB on AD = the
projection of ....... on AD 4 The length of the projection of BE on ACE ........
The area of A ABC = .........
