6.84 CM 4.21 CM: AB ED BC CE CE Ed× BC AB CE CE 4.51CM

The document contains two geometry word problems involving similar triangles and using Pythagoras' theorem. The first problem asks to show that triangle ABC is similar to CDE, find the length of CE, and calculates it as 4.51cm. The second problem involves finding the length of BC in a diagram of a children's climbing frame, which is calculated as 2.97cm.
