The measure of ab and df are 3cm and 7.5cm respectively
Similarity theorem of shapes
In order to determine the missing sides, we need to take the ratio of the similar sides as shown:
1) ab/de = ac/df
ab/de = ab+bc/df
Substitute the given values
ab/2 = ab+4.5/2+3
ab/2 = ab+4.5/5
2(ab+4.5) = 5ab
2ab+9=5ab
3ab = 9
ab = 3cm
Hence the measure of ab is 3cm
2) ae/ce = bf/df
24/9 = 20/df
24df =. 9(20)
24df = 180
df = 7.5cm
Hence the measure of ab and df are 3cm and 7.5cm respectively
