Answer:

C. 6

Explanation:

ΔADC and ΔACB are similar because two of their angles are congruent (∠ACD and ∠ABC, and ∠DAC and ∠CAB)

Because the sides are similar, you can create a proportion


(AC)/(AD)=(AB)/(AC)

substitute the given values for the sides. AD=4 and AB=4+5=9


(AC)/(4)=(9)/(AC)

cross multiply


AC^(2) =36

take the square root of both sides

AC=6
