In ΔABC, D and E are points on side AB and AC respectively. DE is parallel to BC. If lengths of AD, DB and DE are 8 cm, 6 cm and 7.2 cm respectively, find length of BC?
DE is parallel to BC
=> $$\frac{AD}{AB} = \frac{DE}{BC}$$
=> $$\frac{8}{8 + 6} = \frac{7.2}{BC}$$
=> $$\frac{4}{7} = \frac{7.2}{BC}$$
=> $$BC = 1.8 \times 7 = 12.6$$ cm
=> Ans - (A)
