The correct answer is: [A}: " 6 units " .

_________________________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

_________________________________________________________

From the diagram attached, we are given that "AB" = 12 . It seems reasonable that "AR" is "one-half" the length of: "AB" .


(1/2) * (12 units) = 6 units.

_________________________________________________________

Furthermore, let us consider the other TWO (2) answer choices given:

_________________________________________________________

Choice: [B]: " 12 units" ; is INCORRECT; since we are given that "AB" = 12 units; and "AR" appears to be "(1/2)" the length of "AB" ; or MUCH less than the ACTUAL length of "AB" — at any rate (refer to diagram provided.

_________________________________________________________

Choice: [C]: " 24 units " ; is INCORRECT; since we are given that "AB" = 12 units. As aforementioned, "AR" appears to be "(1/2)" the length of "AB" ; that is, " 6 units " ; and: " 24 units" is TWICE the length of "AB" —

{Note that "12 units" * 2 = " 24 units " .}.

_________________________________________________________

As such: The best answer—and correct answer—is:

_________________________________________________________

→ Answer choice: [A]: " 6 units " .
