Given two points B and C on the line AB, where ad = 16cm, BC = 7cm, EF is the midpoint of AB and CD respectively, find the length of the line ef? Change line AB to line ad Format ∵ ∴

Given two points B and C on the line AB, where ad = 16cm, BC = 7cm, EF is the midpoint of AB and CD respectively, find the length of the line ef? Change line AB to line ad Format ∵ ∴

You should say two points B and C on ad, not two points B and C on ab,
Let's say AB is X,
Then be = x / 2, CD = 16-7-x, CF = 1 / 2CD = 1 / 2 (9-x)
EF length = EB + BC + CF = x / 2 + 7 + 1 / 2 (9-x) = 11.5cm
