\[Дано:\]
\[AD\ :DC = 5\ :7;\]
\[DE \parallel AB;\]
\[BC = 36\ см.\]
\[Найти:\]
\[\text{BE.}\]
\[Решение.\]
\[1)\ По\ теореме\ Фалеса:\]
\[\frac{\text{BE}}{\text{AD}} = \frac{\text{CE}}{\text{CD}}\]
\[\frac{\text{BE}}{\text{CE}} = \frac{\text{AD}}{\text{CD}} = \frac{5}{7}\]
\[CE = \frac{7}{5}\text{BE.}\]
\[2)\ BC = BE + CE\]
\[BE + \frac{7}{5}BE = 36\]
\[2,4BE = 36\ \ \ \]
\[BE = 15\ см.\]
\[Ответ:\ \ 15\ см.\]
