To prove that segment DE is parallel to segment BC and half its length, Segment AD is 3, and segment AE is 2.

What is an equation?

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

AB = 6, AC = 4

Since segment DE is parallel to segment BC and half its length, hence triangle ABC and ADE are similar, hence:

AB/AD = AC/AE

If AD = 3, AE = 2, hence:

6/3 = 4/2

2 = 2 (correct)

To prove that segment DE is parallel to segment BC and half its length, Segment AD is 3, and segment AE is 2.
