In the diagram shown, FJ bisects AD BL~=LC. The length of CD is 2 more than the length of LC, and the length of AD is
24. What is the length of AC?

In the diagram shown FJ bisects AD BLLC The length of CD is 2 more than the length of LC and the length of AD is 24 What is the length of AC class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

The Length of AC is  17 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

BL = LC

AD = 24

AL = LD

AL = LD = half of AD = half of 24 = 12.     { FJ bisect AD }

Also,

CD = 2 + LC

To Find:

AC = ?

Solution:

By Addition Property we have

LC + CD = LD  ............{ L - C - D }

LC + ( 2 + LC ) = 12 ..........{substituting the given values}

∴ 2(LC) = 12 -2

∴ 2 (LC) = 10

∴ [tex]LC =\frac{10}{2} \\\\LC = 5\ units\\[/tex]

Again,  By Addition Property we have

AC = AL +  LC      ................{ A - L - C }

AC =12 + 5

∴ AC = 17 units

∴ The Length of AC is  17 units.
