The length of AD is 32 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

An architect is sketching a blueprint of a patio for a new fence

  • On the blueprint, C is the midpoint of segment AD
  • Point B is the midpoint of segment AC
  • BC = 8 feet

We need to find the length of AD

A mid-point divides a line segments into two equal parts in length

∵ C is the mid-point of AD

- The mid-point C divides the line segments AD into two equal parts

∴ AC = CD

∵ B is the mid point of AC

∴ AB = BC

∵ BC = 8 feet

∴ AB = 8 feet

- AC contains AB and BC

∵ AC = AB + BC

∴ AC = 8 + 8 = 16

∵ AC = CD

∵ AC = 16

∴ CD = 16

- AD contains AC and CD

∵ AD = AC + CD

∴ AD = 16 + 16 = 32

The length of AD is 32 feet
