The length of AD is 32 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
An architect is sketching a blueprint of a patio for a new fence
- On the blueprint, C is the midpoint of segment AD
- Point B is the midpoint of segment AC
- BC = 8 feet
We need to find the length of AD
A mid-point divides a line segments into two equal parts in length
∵ C is the mid-point of AD
- The mid-point C divides the line segments AD into two equal parts
∴ AC = CD
∵ B is the mid point of AC
∴ AB = BC
∵ BC = 8 feet
∴ AB = 8 feet
- AC contains AB and BC
∵ AC = AB + BC
∴ AC = 8 + 8 = 16
∵ AC = CD
∵ AC = 16
∴ CD = 16
- AD contains AC and CD
∵ AD = AC + CD
∴ AD = 16 + 16 = 32
The length of AD is 32 feet
