Question

11. In the figure, AC = 24 and AB = BC. Point D (not shown) is on the line between A and B such that AD = DB.

What does DC equal?

Answer 1

Answer with step-by-step explanation:

If AD = DB, then D would be the midpoint of AB. If AB = BC, then B would be the midpoint of AC. If so, lets add another point called E. E is the midpoint of BC, which would divide AC into fourths. DC = DB + BE + EC. So, DC is 3/4 of 24, which is 18.
