Answer:
The length of the line segment AC is equal to 14
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle above is an isosceles triangle, In an Isosceles triangle the two angles; B and C are the same, hence the two sides; AB and AC are also the same.
AB=2x and AC= 3x - 7
AB = AC
which implies;
2x = 3x - 7
subtract 3x from both-side of the equation
2x - 3x = 3x -3x -7
-x = -7
Multiply through by -1
x = 7
But we were ask to find the the length of the line segment AC
AC = 3x - 7
substituting x = 7 into the above equation will yield;
AC = 3(7) - 7 = 21 - 7 =14
Therefore the length of the line segment AC is equal to 14
Look at it this way:
-- Since the two groups have the ratio of 4 to 7, then the first group has 4 parts
and the other group has 7 parts.
-- If the first group has 4 parts and the other group has 7 parts, then they have
11 parts all together.
-- Those 11 parts are all parts of 33. There must be ( 33 / 11 ) = 3 items in each part.
Now you can go back to the groups . . .
-- The first group has 4 parts.
With 3 items in each part, that's (4 x 3) = 12 items.
-- The other group has 7 parts.
With 3 items in each part, that's (7 x 3) = 21 items.
