It is known that a, B and C are on the same straight line. AB = 24cm, BC = 3 / 8 AB, e is the midpoint of AC, D is the midpoint of AB, and the length of De is calculated It's done tonight

Two cases
We need to draw pictures~~
1. B is between a and C
AB=24 BC=9
So AC = 33, AE = 33 / 2, ad = 12
DE=AE-AD=9/2
2. C is between a and B
AB=24 BC=9
So AC = 15, AE = 15 / 2, ad = 12
DE=AD-AE=9/2
In both cases, the de length of the lock is 9 / 2
