Answer:

x = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has 180°.

That third angle is 360 - 8x.

So the equation is: 180 = 2x + x + 360 - 8x.

Simplify: 180 = -5x + 360

Add/Subtract: 5x = 180

Divide: x = 36.

Answer:

The length of AD is 32 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportional distances

When distances are proportions of others, we can express all of them as relative fractions until we reach some known distance and solve for the desired length

Let's call x the length of AD. Given C is the midpoint of AD, then

$\displaystyle AC=CD=\frac{x}{2}$

Given B is the midpoint of AC, then

$\displaystyle AB=BC=\frac{AC}{2}=\frac{x}{4}$

If we know BC=8 feet

$\displaystyle \frac{x}{4}=8\ feet$

$\displaystyle x=32\ feet$

The length of AD is 32 feet
