In , cm and D is a point on side BC such that cm. If AD is extended to a point E such that , then the length, in cm, of AE is
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
In , we have cm, cm where lies on , and is extended to such that .
Since and both angles subtend the same segment from the same side, the four points are concyclic (they all lie on a common circle).
This means chords and intersect at point inside the circle. By the Intersecting Chords Theorem:
To find , we apply Stewart's Theorem on with cevian :
Since , we get:
Noting that :
Dividing both sides by :
Now applying the Intersecting Chords Theorem:
cm
Since lies on the extension of beyond :
cm
