Question

Points A, B, C, D, and E are five points on a line segment with endpoints A and E. The points are in order listed above from left to right such that DC = AB/2, BC = CD/2, AB = AE/2, and AE = 12. What And you are is the length of AD?

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of AD = 10.5

Explanation:

From what was given in the question;

• AE = 12

• but AB = AE/2 , therefore AB = 6

• also CD = AB/2, therefore CD = 3

• Also, BC = CD/2, therefore BC = 1.5

• And we are told to find the length of AD,

• AD = AB + BC + CD

• AD = 6 + 3 + 1.5

• AD = 10.5
