Take any part of this line as line segment of length c as shown below:

  McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 10.5, Problem 2CE , additional homework tip  2

Draw another line segment of length b from left end at any angle.

  McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 10.5, Problem 2CE , additional homework tip  3

Join the line BD and draw a parallel line from C .

  McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 10.5, Problem 2CE , additional homework tip  4

Extend the line AB at E .

  McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 10.5, Problem 2CE , additional homework tip  5

Then line segment AE is x ,

From the property of similarities of triangles, ABAE=ADAC this implies that ca=bx
