A, B, C, D and E are 5 consecutive points on a straight line. If BC = 2CD, DE = 4, AB = 5 and AC = 11, what is the length of AE?
Answer(s): D
Explanation:
First, draw the line and the points.
In order to find the length of AE, find the length of CD and BC first. BC = AC – AB = 11 – 5 = 6.
BC = 2CD CD = 3.
AE = 5 + 6 + 3 + 4 = 18.
