Exercise 38 Page 307

We know from the previous exercise that x=4.

AD=17

Practice makes perfect
We are asked to find the length of AD in the given diagram.
In the previous exercise, we found that x=4. Therefore, to find the length of the segment, we can substitute 4 for x in the given expression for AD.
AD=3x+5
AD=3( 4)+5
AD=12+5
AD=17
