Answer:
58
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's draw this out (see attachment).
We know that since B lies on AC, we have the points in order from left to right: A, B, C.
AB = 9, which is the left portion. BC = 49, which is the right portion. Then AC is simply the sum:
AC = AB + BC = 9 + 49 = 58
The answer is thus 58.
