Answer:

AD is 6.5 units

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

AD = 6.5

Hence the measure of length segment AD is 6.5 units
