Answer 2

From the given information we get, (AB/AP) = (AC/AQ)

In triangle ABC, (AB/AP) = (AC/AQ)

By using converse of “Thales theorem” PQ is parallel to BC.

RD = x

In triangle ABD, PR is parallel to BD

AD = AR + RD

AD = 4.5 + x

(AB/AP) = (AD/AR)

(5/3) = (4.5 + x)/4.5

(5 x 4.5)/3 = 4.5 + x

7.5 = 4.5 + x

x = 7.5 – 4.5

x = 3

Here we need to find the length of AD = 4.5+x =4.5+3=7.5cm
