We know that the lines (AC) and (BD) are parallel.AE = 4.2 × 10^4; BE = 3.2 × 10^3; CE = 6.8 × 10^5Calculate ED length

1) Since the lines AC and BD are parallel and given the measurements, we tell these triangles are similar.
2) Based on that we can write out the following ratios:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3.2\cdot \:10^3}{4.2\cdot \:10^4}=\frac{x}{6.8\cdot \:10^5} \\ \frac{x}{6.8\cdot \:10^5}=\frac{3.2\cdot \:10^3}{4.2\cdot \:10^4} \\ x=51809.52380 \\ x=5.18\cdot10^4 \end{gathered}[/tex]Rounding off to the nearest hundredth.
