The length of AD of the given triangle is; AD = 8

Concept of Similar Triangles

From the concept of similar triangles which we want to apply to the given triangle with dimensions given, we can deduce that;

4/x = 2/4

Cross multiply to get;

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2 to get;

2x/2 = 16/2

x = 8

Since x = 8, then it means that AD = 8
