Answer:

AC is about 4.29

Explanation:

we need to use simple trigonometry for this problem

the tangent of an angle is the ratio between the opposite side and the adjacent side

so the tangent of the angle 35ΒΊ is BC / AC

tan(35) is about 0.7

this means that BC / AC = 0.7

we know BC is 3

so 3 / AC = 0.7

3 = 0.7(AC)

AC is about 4.29
