Question

In the figure shown, AB=8 and AD=5. What is BC

Answer 1

I would believe that since AD = 5 so would BC?

Answer 2

Answer:

$BC=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a diagram. We are asked to find the length of side BC.

We can see that in the given figure opposite sides have equal measure as shown by the marks on the lines.

Since segment BC is opposite side of segment AD, so measure of BC will be equal to measure of AD.

Since we have been given that measure of AD is 5 units, therefore, measure of BC will be 5 units as well.
