a) Ta có DB = AB - AD = 11 - 4 = 7(cm)
xét tam giác ABC có DE // BC
=> \(\frac{AE}{EC}\) = \(\frac{AD}{BD}\) (định lí ta lét)
=> \(\frac{AE}{EC}\) = \(\frac{4}{7}\)
b) Ta có AE/EC = \(\frac{4}{7}\)
=> AE = \(\frac{4EC}{7}\)
Mà EC - AE = 1,5 nên EC - \(\frac{4EC}{7}\) = 1,5
=> \(\frac{3EC}{7}\) = 1,5
=> EC = 3,5(cm)
=> AE =\(\frac{4EC}{7}\) = \(\frac{4.3,5}{7}\) = 2(cm)
=> AC = AE + EC = 2 + 3,5 = 5,5(cm)
