Answer:

$25\le AC\le 121$

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to this question is that the length of a side of a triangle is larger than the difference of the other 2 sides and is smaller than the sum of the other 2 sides. Hence the length of AC is larger than (or equal to, in case A, C, D do not form a triangle but are on the same line) $73-48=25$ and is smaller than (or equal to) $73+48=121$ .
