Solution

Thanks for the images! Here's a breakdown of the mathematical problems.

Image 1:

  1. First Problem: Given that D is the midpoint of AC, we have two expressions for the lengths of AD and DC:

    • AD=9xAD = 9x
    • DC=x+4DC = x + 4

    Since D is the midpoint, AD=DCAD = DC. So, we can set the two equations equal to each other: 9x=x+49x = x + 4 Solve for xx and then use that value to find ACAC, which is AC=AD+DCAC = AD + DC.

  2. Second Problem: Here, D is also the midpoint, with:

    • AD=3x+2AD = 3x + 2
    • DC=5xDC = 5x

    Again, since D is the midpoint, AD=DCAD = DC. Set the two expressions equal: 3x+2=5x3x + 2 = 5x Solve for xx, and then find AC=AD+DCAC = AD + DC.

The second image seems to be a geometry-related problem where you're tasked with completing statements about bisecting and finding midpoints.

  1. First Task: The question is asking to bisect ABAB at EE, meaning EE is the midpoint of segment ABAB.

  2. Second Task: The question asks to identify the point that is the midpoint of ABAB, which is what EE represents in the first task.

  3. Third Task: The third task likely involves using the notation for congruent segments, indicated by the symbol \cong, to express that AEEBAE \cong EB.
