BC is parallel to DE.
Calculate AE.
Let's prove that triangles ADE and ABC are similar using:
Since DE is parallel to BC, angles ADE and ABC are equal (according to the law - between parallel lines, corresponding angles are equal)
Angle DAE and angle BAC are equal since it's the same angle
After we proved that the triangles are similar, let's write the given data from the drawing according to the following similarity ratio:
We know that -
Let's reduce the fractions:
This statement is incorrect, meaning the data in the drawing contradicts the fact that the triangles are similar. Therefore, the drawing is impossible.
Impossible as the shape in the figure cannot exist.
