Given that d is the midpoint of ab and b is the midpoint of ac which statement must be true a) ad= 1/3ac

AD = 1/4AC

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

D is the the midpoint of AB

Therefore

AB = AD + DB

Since, D is the midpoint of the AB, therefore AD = DB

AB = AD + AD

AB = 2AD (i)

Similarly, B is the midpoint of AC

Hence,

AC = AB + BC

AC = AB + AB (because B is the midpoint)

AC = 2AB (ii)

By putting the value of AB from equation i to equation ii, we get

AC = 2(2AD)

AC = 4AD

AC/4 = AD

AD = 1/4AC

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square

fist on the left goes with the third on the right. second on the left goes with the fourth on the right. third on the left goes with the second on the right. the fourth on the left goes with first on the right
