Answer 1

Answer:

AC = 18.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Construct a line from point B perpendicular to the line AD and mark it as E on line AD. Now you have a right triangle ABE with AB = 16 cm and AE = AD - BC

so AE = 11 cm - 4 cm = 7 cm

You can find BE by using Pythagorean theorem

BE^2 = AB^2 - AE^2

BE^2 = 16^2 - 7^2

BE^2 = 256 - 49

BE^2 = 207

BE = 14.4 cm

Draw a line from A to C, you have a right triangle ACD with AD = 11cm and CD = BE = 14.4 cm

Using Pythagorean theorem

AC^2 = AD^2 + CD^2

AC^2 = 11^2 + 207

AC^2  = 121 + 207

AC^2 =  328

AC = 18.1 cm
