Answer:
<em>AD is 6.5 units</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached.
From the diagram, you can see that the dotted triangle is a right angled triangle with side AD as the hypotenuse.
To get AD, we will use the pythagoras theorem as shown;
Hyp² = Opp² + Adj²
AD² = 6²+2.5²
AD² = 36 + 6.25
AD² = 42.25
AD = √42.25
<em>AD = 6.5</em>
<em>Hence the measure of length segment AD is 6.5 units</em>

Given, arc QR is congruent to arc LN and arc OP is congruent to arc VW.
And the expressions for each arc in the diagram also given as:
Arc QR = 2x - y, arc LN = 11 , arc OP= 10 and arc VW=5x+y.
Hence, we will get the system of equations as following:
Arc QR = Arc LN
2x - y = 11 ...(1)
Arc OP = Arc VW
5x + y = 10 ...(2)
We need to find the value of x. So, we can add the equations to eliminate y so that we can solve the equations for x. Therefore,
2x+5x = 11 + 10
7x = 21
Divide each sides by 7.
So, x= 3
