Triangle ACE with B on AC and D on AE, BD parallel to CE; AB = 9 cm, BC = 13.5 cm, AD = 10 cm, BD = 17 cm

Diagram NOT accurately drawn

In the diagram ABC and ADE are straight lines.
BD is parallel to CE.
\(AB = 9\) cm, \(BC = 13.5\) cm, \(AD = 10\) cm, \(BD = 17\) cm

(a) Calculate the length of CE. (2)
(b) Calculate the length of DE. (2)

The area of triangle ABD is 36 cm2

(c) Calculate the area of quadrilateral BDEC. (3)
