XY is drawn parallel to the base BC of a triangle ABC cutting AB at X and AC at Y .If AB= 4BX and YC = 2cm ,then AY =?
de options r..
a. 2cm
b. 4cm
c. 6cm
d. 8cm.
plz answer...and also justify ur answer..plzzz
Its option C)6cm,
Reason-->
Using Thales theorem,
AB=4BX
similarly,
4CY=AC
Given CY=2cm, Now,
AC+4CY=4*2=8cm
Now, AY=AC-CY=8-2=6cm
Hope it helps!
Cheers !!
