Answer:

D. 30.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A, B, C, D, and E are collinear,

AE = 38,

BD = 15, since segment BC = CD = DE, therefore

BD = ⅔ of BE

15 = ⅔*BE (substitution)

Solve for BE

Multiply each side by 3

15*3 = ⅔*BE*3

45 = 2*BE

Divide both sides by 2

45/2 = BE

22.5 = BE

BE = 22.5

Find AB:

AB + BE = AE (segment addition postulate)

AB + 22.5 = 38 (Substitution)

AB = 38 - 22.5 (Subtracting 22.5 from each side)

AB = 15.5

Find length of segment AD:

AB + BD = AD (segment addition postulate)

15.5 + 15 = AD (Substitution)

30.5 = AD

AD = 30.5
