Question

What is the length of AC ? Enter your answer in the box. units Triangle A B C with vertical side A C. Vertex B lies to the right of side A C. Angle A and angle C are marked congruent. The length of side A C is labeled as x. The length of side A B is labeled as x plus 4. The length of side B C is labeled as 3 x minus 8.

Answer 1

Answer:

LENGTH OF AC IS 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

the side AC = x ;

we need to find x;

since ∠A = ∠C , It's an isosceles triangle . i.e ,

the sides opposite to the angles ( AB and CB ) are also equal.

thus ,

side

AB = x+4 ;

CB = 3x-8 ;

thus AB = CB or ,

x+4 = 3x-8 ,

2x = 12 ,

x = 6 ;

therefore the side AC is 6.
