Question

=

In the figure below, C is between A and D, and B is the midpoint of AC. If BD=11 and BC=8, find AD.

Answer 1

AD = 19

Explanation:

Here, we want to find the length of AD

To do this, we will use the illustration drawn below in the attachment

Since B is the midpoint of AC, and BC = 8; then AB will also be 8

Mathematically;

AD = AB + BD

AD = 8 + 11

AD = 19
