Question

Ok so this one I think it’s 2.5?inches but idrk
Look at the diagram below.

B

18 in

C

6 in

A

5 in

E

D

If overline AB / overline EC and AB =18 inches AE = 5 inches, and CE = 6 inches, what is the length of overline AD

Answer 1

To find the length of overline AD, we can use the fact that overline AB / overline EC. This means that the ratio of the lengths of overline AB to overline EC is constant.

We can set up a proportion using this ratio:

AB/EC = AD/DC

We know that AB = 18 inches, AE = 5 inches, and CE = 6 inches. We can use this information to find DC:

DC = EC - DE = 6 - 5 = 1 inch

Now we can plug in the values we have:

18/6 = AD/1

Simplifying this, we get:

2.5 = AD

Therefore, the length of overline AD is 2.5 inches.

Answer 2

Tysm for explaining this is so much more helpful than Brainly they just put the answer 😒
