- [ 5 ] Points A , B , C , and D lie on a line in that order such that = . If AC = 3 and BD = 4, BC CD find AD . Proposed by: Yuan Yao Answer: 6 3 − x 7 − x Let BC = x , then the equation becomes = . This simplifies to a quadratic equation with x 4 − x solutions x = 1 and x = 6. Since x < 3, we have x = 1 and AD = 7 − x = 6. 1
