Answer: The required length of AC is 22 units.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given that the point B is between the points A and C, where

$AB=13.7,~~BC=8.3.$

We are to find the length of AC.

The picture of the given situation is shown in the attached figure below.

Since the point B is in between A and C, so we must have

$AC=AB+BC=13.7+8.3=22.$

Thus, the required length of AC is 22 units.

Hi, there.

For this question, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$ .

I'm sure you've seen this equation before, and they kind of tried to trip you up with this problem. Trust me, it's easier than it looks. Let's break it down.

Lengths a and b both have the value of 48, which means that the value s in $\sqrt{2s^2}$ is 48, because the length of the hypotenuse is the same as the length and height squared multiplied by 2.
