Length of Segment AD in Triangle ABC

Easy Problem Solving Geometry

In a triangle ABC, the lengths of sides AB and AC are both equal to 5. If segment BC is extended to point D such that BD is equal to 3, what is the length of segment AD?

Let the distances of points B and C from line AD be perpendicular. Use this information to determine the required length.
