Answer:
Length of DE = 2.90 (Approx)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
AE = 7[tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]cm = 61 / 8 cm = 7.625 cm
AB = BC
CD = 1/2 cm = 0.5 cm
DE is 3/8 more than AB
Find:
Length of DE
Computation:
Assume;
AB = BC = x
So,
DE = x + 3/8(x) = [11 / 8]x = [1.375]x cm
AE = AB + BC + CD + DE
7.625 = x + x + 0.5 + [1.375]x
7.125 = 3.375 x
x = 2.1111 (Approx)
Length of DE = [1.375][2.111]
Length of DE = 2.90 (Approx)
