Answer: The measure of AC is 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the Points B, D, and F are midpoints of the sides of ΔACE. EC = 38 and DF = 16.

The midpoint theorem states that the if a line segments connecting two midpoints then the line is parallel to the third side and it's length is half of the third side.

Since F and D are midpoints of AE and EC respectively.

So by midpoint theorem length of AC is twice of DF.


AC=2* DF


AC=2* 16


AC=32

Therefore, the length of AC is 32.
