I am thinking the answer is 8, because it's bisecting, and I was told when a bisection is taking place in an angle, the sides are congruent, and by just the look of the eye, they look the same length. If I'm wrong, could I get a explanation on how to find the length?

BISECTRIZ: Divide the interior or exterior angle of each vertex into two congruent angles. Then we have that the angle that ES starts and that shares the 2 right triangles is the same:

As we can see, both triangles share the angle and the hypotenuse, that is, their height is also the same, so the height of PC is equal to 8
