Question

Bonus: Find the measure indicated. *

Answer 1

Answer:

AC = 16 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

AD = CD = 10 in.

BD = 6 in.

AC = 2(AB) = ?

Apply pythagorean theorem to find AB

AB² = AD² - BD²

Substitute

AB² = 10² - 6²

AB² = 64

AB = √64

AB = 8

Therefore:

AC = 2(AB) = 2(8)

AC = 16 in.
