I'd be glad to help you solve the triangle in the image you described. Here's the approach based on the information you provided:
Given:
- Right triangle ABC with right angle at B
- Point D is on line segment AB
- Line segment DE is perpendicular to line segment AC
- AD = 6 cm
- AB = 12 cm
- AC = 18 cm
Goal:
Find the length of segment AE.
