Step-by-step explanation: Answer is 1.5
There are 2 similar triangles in the figure Triangle CBD and Triangle CAE. We are going to use a similarity proportion between there congruent sides.
[tex] \frac{ cb}{cd} = \frac{ca}{ce} [/tex]
Now let plug in
[tex] \frac{4}{19} = \frac{x}{26} [/tex]
Cross multiply and x=
[tex]5 \times \frac{9}{19} [/tex]
or 104/9. Now we are going to find Ba. Since CB+BA=CA via the segment addition rule. 4+x=104/19. x=104/19-76/19 which equals 28/19. 28/19 is about 1.5.
