- AAD = 5.6 cm, DB = 4.2 cm, AE = 3.6 cm, EC = 4.8 cm
- BAD = 4.2 cm, DB = 5.6 cm, AE = 4.8 cm, EC = 3.6 cm
- CAD = 4.2 cm, DB = 3.6 cm, AE = 5.6 cm, EC = 5.4 cm
- DAD = 4.2 cm, DB = 5.6 cm, AE = 3.6 cm, EC = 4.8 cm
Step-by-Step Solution
The converse of BPT needs . For the correct set, and , so is parallel to . In the first set the first ratio is ≈ 1.33 while the second is 0.75; in the second set the second pair has been swapped, giving 0.75 against 1.33; in the third set the ratios are about 1.17 and 1.04. Only equal ratios — not merely "the same four numbers" — give a parallel line.
Answer: D) AD = 4.2 cm, DB = 5.6 cm, AE = 3.6 cm, EC = 4.8 cm
