Five points A,B,C, D and e lie on a line.
:
Point b is the midpoint of AC, and point D is the midpoint of BC.
:
A----------6-----------B-----3-----D-----3-----C
:
If AC is 12 and DE is 2,
A----------6-----------B-----3-----D-2-E------C
:
what's the sum of the possible lengths of segment AE?
6 + 3 + 2 = 11
