Answer:

BD = 8.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure attached,

ΔABC and ΔADB are the right triangles.

By applying mean proportional theorem,

$\frac{\text{AD}}{\text{BD}}=\frac{\text{BD}}{\text{CD}}$

BD² = AD × CD

BD² = 6 × 12

BD = √72

BD = 6√2

= 8.485

BD ≈ 8.5 units

Therefore, measure of segment BD will be 8.5 units.

Segment addition postulate<br> What’s the answer?

Free_Kalibri [48]

$\bf Step-by-step~explanation:$

Keep in mind: The entire line segment (VX) is equal to 14.

$\bf Step~1:$

Let's see how the line segment looks like first.

Line segment VX is 14 units long.

______________

V X

W is on the line segment somewhere, and VW is equal to 3.

3 ?

______________

V W X

$\bf Step~2:$

We have to solve for the <em>?.</em> Let's put ? as x. So now we are solving for x.

We have to set up our equation like this:

x + 3 = 14

Since our unknown value plus 3 is equal to 14, we have to subtract 3 from 14 to get our answer.

14 - 3 = 11

3 11

______________

V W X
