Question

Point B is AC between A and C. If AB is doubled and BC is also doubled, predict the effect on AC.

Answer 1

AC would also be divided by two then

Answer 2

Answer: AC will also be doubled.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that point B lie between A and C on AC. AB is doubled and BC is also doubled.

We are to find the effect on AC.

Let us consider that

AB = x and BC = y ⇒ AC = AB + BC = x + y.

Then, being doubled, we get

AB = 2x and BC = 2y.

Therefore, we get

`AC=AB+BC=2x+2y=2(x+y).`

Thus, AC will also get doubled.
