Question

Point B is the midpoint of point C and D. If CB is 14in, what is CD and BD?

Answer 1

Answer:

$BD = 14\ in$

$CD = 28\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

CB = 14in

B as midpoint

Required

Determine CD and BD

Since B is the midpoint, then the two line segments (CB and BD), we have the following relationships:

$CB = BD$

$CD = CB + BD$

Reorder the first equation

$BD = CB$

Substitute 14 for CB

$BD = 14\ in$

Taking the second equation into consideration

$CD = CB + BD$

$CD = 14 + 14$

$CD = 28\ in$
