Answer:

6cm

Explanation:

if C is the mid point of AB, then segment AC and BC would be of equal size . And if D is the midpoint of AC then segment AD and DC would be of same size as well. SO, IF AD=3cm THEN DC=3cm. AND AC=AD+DC , AC=3+3=6.

SO, If AC and BC are of same size that means BC is also =6cm

SORRY IF THIS IS RLY CONFUSING

if D is the midpoint of segment AC, C is the midpoint of segment AB and AD=3cm what-example-1
