Pemdas, so exponent before multiply
so do a^-1/2 then multiply it by 2
remember that
![x^ \frac{m}{n}= \sqrt[n]{x^m}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5E%20%5Cfrac%7Bm%7D%7Bn%7D%3D%20%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%5Em%7D%20%20)
and

therefor,

the we multiply by 2

Given:
The figure of a triangle.
To find:
The missing length.
Solution:
Let x be the missing length.
Basic proportionality theorem(BPT): According to this theorem, if a line is parallel to the one side of a triangle then that the line intersects the other two sides of the triangle in the same ratio.
Using Basic proportionality theorem, we get




Adding x on both sides, we get




The missing length is 3 Therefore, the correct option is D.
