Question

ABEF=CBED. The perimeter of CBED is 17. Find the length of BE

Answer 1

2.7. Because of the CPCTC theorem, like CB is equal to 5.9 so if you add the lengths of CB, CD, and ED and subtract this by 17, you find the length of BE which is 2.7

Answer 2

Answer:

Option B, 2.7 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of CBED = CD + ED + BC + BE

                         17   =  5.6 + 2.8 + 5.9 + BE

[Since ABEF ≅ CBED  so  AB = BC = 5.9]

Now      17   =  14.3 + BE

             BE =  17 - 14.3

                 = 2.7

Therefore, Length of BE = 2.7

Option B, 2.7 is the answer.
