Is there supposed to be a picture

Answer:

[tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : BC is parallel to DE

To Find : What is the length of CE?

Solution :

AB = 3

BD = 2

AC = 4

Since BC || DE

So, [tex]\frac{AB}{BD}=\frac{AC}{CE}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{3}{2}=\frac{4}{CE}[/tex]

[tex]CE=\frac{4 \times 2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]CE=\frac{8}{3}[/tex]

[tex]CE=2\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Hence the length of CE is [tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
