Segment AB is parallel to segment AB What is the length of segment AB What is the length of segment BB Your answer should be in decimal form with only one decim class=

Respuesta :

B’B is 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Segment A'B' is parallel to segment AB.

So, The length of segment AB is 7.5 units

The length of segment B'B is 3.5 units

Given :

Segment A'B' is parallel to segment AB. Few sides of the triangle is given.

Apply basic proportionality theorem

When  A'B' is parallel to segment AB then sides are proportional

[tex]\frac{CB'}{B'B} =\frac{CA'}{A'A}[/tex]

Substitute the values

[tex]\frac{7}{B'B} =\frac{6}{3} \\cross \; multiply\\7(3)=B'B(6)\\21=B'B(6)\\Divide \; by \; 6\\B'B= \frac{21}{6} \\B'B=3.5[/tex]

Now we find AB by making a proportion

[tex]\frac{CA'}{CA} =\frac{BA'}{BA} \\\frac{6}{9} =\frac{5}{AB} \\Cross \; multiply\\6(AB)=5 \cdot 9\\6AB=45\\Divide \; by \; 6\\AB=7.5[/tex]

The length of segment AB is 7.5 units

The length of segment B'B is 3.5 units
