a) Xét tam giác HQI:
QE là phân giác \(\widehat{Q}\left(gt\right).\)
\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{HE}{EI}=\dfrac{HQ}{QI}\) (Tính chất phân giác).
\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{HE}{EI+HE}=\dfrac{HQ}{QI+HQ}.\)
\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{HE}{HI}=\dfrac{HQ}{QI+HQ}.\)
Thay: \(\dfrac{HE}{17}=\dfrac{8}{15+8}.\)
\(\Rightarrow HE=\dfrac{136}{23}\left(cm\right).\\ \Rightarrow EI=\dfrac{255}{23}\left(cm\right).\)
