Answer:  The length of segment AB is 4.5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:  As shown in the attached figure, D is the mid-point of AC and C is the mid-point of DB. Also, AC = 3 cm.

We are to find the length of AB.

Since D is the mid-point of AC, so we have

AD : DC = 1 : 1,

and C is the mid-point of DB, so

DC : CB = 1 : 1.

Therefore, we can write

AD : DC : CB = 1 : 1 : 1.

From here, it implies that

AC:CB=2:1\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{AC}{CB}=\dfrac{2}{1}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{CB}=2\\\\\\\Rightarrow CB=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow CB=1.5.

Thus,

AB=AC+CB=3+1.5=4.5.

Hence, the length of segment AB is 4.5 cm.

The only way I can envision this is put all 4 points on 1 line segment. They go in the order of ADCB. I can only draw it this one way.

Given
D is the midpoint of AC
C is the midpoint of DB
AC = 3 cm

Argument
AC = 3 cm           Given
AD = DC                       D is the midpoint of AC
AD = 3/2                       Definition of a midpoint.
DC = 3/2                       Definition of a midpoint

DC = 3/2                       Last statement
DC + CB = 1.5 + 1.5.   C is the midpoint of BD
DB = 3                          Consolidation of equals
AD + DB = AB               
1.5 + 3 = 4.5                 Substitution.

Leokris [45]
Yes, for triangles to similar two angles have to be the same, in this case, they both have 55 and 30 degrees), this makes the third angle the same. Triangles angles add up to 180 degrees and if you subtract 30 and 55 from 180..
180-30=150-55=95
95+30+55=180
