Answer:

The answer to your question is: BD = 7.5

Explanation:

Data

C is the midppoint of AD

B is the midpoint of AC

AC = 5

BD = ?

Process

We know that B is the mid point of AC, then AB = BC

AB + BC = 5

but 2AB = 5

AB = 5/2

AB = 2.5 = BC

Then AC = CD if AC = 5 then CD = 5

Finally

BD = BC + CD

BD = 2.5 + 5

BD = 7.5
