Given a segment AB, points D and C belong to the segment and are located on the segment in the specified order

Given a segment AB, points D and C belong to the segment and are located on the segment in the specified order, the length of segment AD is 14.25 cm. The length of segment CB is 2 times the length of segment AD. Find the length of the segment DC if the length of the segment AB is 56.12 cm.

Let’s find the length of the segment CB:
14.25 * 2 = 28.5cm
Let us find the length of the segment DС (subtract the segments known to us from the length of the entire segment):
56.12-14.25-28.5 = 13.37 cm
Answer: 13.37 cm
