Question

Point C ∈

AB

and AB = 33 cm. Point C is 2 times farther from point B than point C is from point A. Find AC and CB.

Answer:

AC = cm, CB = cm

Answer 1

• AC: 11 cm
• CB: 22 cm

Explanation:

Given:

AC + CB = 33

CB = 2AC

Find:

AC, CB

Solution:

Using substitution, we have ...

AC +2AC = 33

AC = 33/3 = 11

CB = 2·11 = 22

AC = 11 cm; CB = 22 cm.
