Question

If D is the midpoint of segment AB and AB = 15, what is AD?

Answer 1

Answer: AD = 7.5

Step-by-step explanation: A midpoint is halfway between 2 points, which is AB. AB = 15. To find AD, which is half of the line, divide 15 by 2.

15/2 = 7.5

AD is 7.5

Answer 2

Answer:

AD = 7.5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the question, a segment AB having measure = 15 units

If D is the midpoint of the segment AB, then we have to find the measure of segment AD.

Since D is the midpoint of AB then length of segment AD = $\frac{1}{2}\times AB$

= $\frac{1}{2}\times 15$

= 7.5 units

Therefore, AD = 7.5 units will be the answer.
