Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of this line segment is the distance between its endpoints A and B. So, a line segment is a piece or part of a line having two endpoints. Unlike a line, a line segment has a definite length.
Answer: DA = 6
====================================================
Explanation:
The triangles are similar, allowing us to make the proportion below
DB/DA = DA/DC
Plug in the given values. Cross multiply and solve for x
DB/DA = DA/DC
9/DA = DA/4
9*4 = (DA)*(DA)
36 = (DA)^2
(DA)^2 = 36
DA = sqrt(36)
DA = 6
The length of DA is exactly the geometric mean of the lengths BD and DC
geometric mean of x and y = sqrt(x*y)
