There are four points on a line: A, B, C and D, so that AB=1,BC=2,CD=4. Find the length of segment AD. Consider all possibilities and draw a picture for each one of them.


All possible answers for the length of AD are, _, _, _, _, _.

Respuesta :

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's on a line, we add up all of the numbers. So 1 + 2 + 4 = 7.

Answer:

7, 1, 5, and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Because you have to consider all possibilities, you will have multiple different-looking number lines. Using the ratios given in the problem, just by playing around with the letters' placements on the number line you can easily find the length of AD.
