AE is twice the length of BD by the triangle midsegment theorem.

https://www.varsitytutors.com/hotmath/hotmath_help/topics/triangle-midsegment-theorem

the length of BD is equal to sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2).

that makes it equal to sqrt(2-(-1.5))^2 + (3.5-3.5)^2). which makes it equal to sqrt(3.5^2) which makes it equal to 3.5.

AE, being twice the length of BD, is therefore equal to 7.
