There are two triangles here: ABC and ADF. These triangles are similar, and thus proportional. So, we can set up a proportion between the left side of each triangle and the base of each triangle.

AB / AD = BC / DE

4 / (4 + BD) = 5 / 9

---AD is made up of AB and DB. We know AB, but not BD, so we need to find its value to find the length of AD.

5(4 + BD) = 9 x 4

20 + 5BD = 36

5BD = 16

BD = 3.2

AD = AB + BD

AD = 4 + 3.2

AD = 7.2

Hope this helps!
