Answer:
12 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Well first we can cut the triangle in half and use the Pythagorean theorm
a^2+b^2=c^2
In this case we are going to be doing c^2-a^2=b^2
10^2-8^2=b^2
(10*10)-(8*8)=b^2
100-64=b^2
36=b^2
Now we just square root 36 (what number times itself is 36)
b=6
Since half of the one side equals 6 (DC) then the length of AC is 12!
