1. Let A, B, C, and D be four distinct points in the plane. Suppose that no three of them lie on a line and A, C are on opposite sides of the line BD. The lengths of the line segments AB, BC, CD and DA are 4, 3, 6 and 8 respectively. (a) What is the range of possible values for the length of the line segment BD? You should justify your answer carefully! (b) Now suppose that x = 7. What is the length of the line segment AC?
