Question

In the diagram belowthe length of segment AB is 10, the length of segment AD is 25, and the length of segment AEis 20. What is the length of segment AC? A. 6 B. 10 C. 5 D. 8

Answer 1

The image of the triangle is missing, so i have attached it.

Answer:

Option D: 8

Explanation:

We are given;

AB = 10

AD = 25

AE = 20

We want to find length of AC.

By proportion, we can find length of AC. Thus;

AB/AD = AC/AE

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

10/25 = AC/20

AC = (10 × 20)/25

AC = 8
