Question

Points B, D, and Fare midpoints of the sides of ACE. EC = 30 and DF = 17. Find AC. The diagram is not to scale.

Answer 1

Given that the points B, D, and F are the midpoints of ACE.

Where EC = 30 and DF = 17

This means that DF will be half of the side AC.

Thus, to find AC, we have:

`(AC)/(2)=DF`
`(AC)/(2)=17`
`AC\text{ = 17 }\ast\text{ 2 = 34}`

Therefore, AC = 34

ANSWER:

34
