Transcribed Image Text:### Geometry Problem: Finding AE
#### Problem Statement:
Given the following right triangle diagram, solve for the length \( AE \).
Diagram Explanation:
- Triangle \( ABC \) is given with:
- \( AB = 6 \)
- \( BC = 5 \)
- \( BD = 3 \)
- \( \angle ADB = \angle BDE = 90^\circ \)
- Points \( D \) and \( E \) are depicted such that \( AD \perp BD \) and \( DE \perp BE \).
Calculate the length \( AE \).
#### Diagram:
```

```
(Explained as a visual guide)
#### Options:
A) 8
B) \(\sqrt{75}\)
C) \(\sqrt{66}\)
D) 9
E) None of these
#### Explanation:
1. **Identify** right-angled triangles and use Pythagorean theorem where applicable.
2. **Calculate** the necessary lengths within triangle using relationships established.
3. **Solve** for \( AE \).
### Solution:
- A full, step-by-step solution will involve breaking down triangles \( ABD \), \( BDE \), and geometric principles.
Choose the correct option among those listed.
