Answer:

(a) DE = 7.5 cm

(b) Area of ΔABE = 9.33 cm2

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)   [tex]\frac{AE}{DE} =\frac{BE}{CE}[/tex]

     [tex]\frac{5}{DE} =\frac{4}{6}[/tex]

    [tex]DE=\frac{(5)(6)}{4} =\frac{30}{4} =7.5[/tex]

(b) measurements of similar triangles have a ratio of 2/3

The ratio between areas is

[tex](\frac{2}{3} )^{2} =\frac{4}{9}[/tex]

If the area of ΔCDE = 21

Then the área of ΔABE is:

[tex]21(\frac{4}{9})=\frac{(21)(4)}{9} =\frac{84}{9} =9.33[/tex]

Hope this helps
