By using the intersecting chord theorem, we can solve for the length of the line segment DE. The theorem states that for an intersecting chord AB and CD the lengths A×B is always equal to C×D no matter where the chords are. Calculation is as follows:

AE x CE = DE x BE
2.5 x 7.5 = DE x 3.4
DE = 5.5 units

Answer:

DE = 5.5 units
