Answer:

C. 5.6

Explanation:

To start, place a point where AC intersects BD. We will label this point "Q". The distance from "Q" to C will be labeled as "y". (y = QC)

We will set up a formula like this:
(AQ)×(QC) = (BQ)×(QD)

This gives you:
3.2×y = 4.8×1.6
Simplified:
3.2y = 7.68

Then, divide both sides by 3.2 to find y, or QC:

(3.2y)/(3.2) =(7.68)/(3.2)
Simplified:

y=2.4

Now that we have QC, we need to add AQ and QC together to find AC:
AC = (AQ)+(QC)
AC = 3.2 + 2.4
Solved:
AC = 5.6
