Find AC with the Segment Addition Postulate. Note that we are given the length of the longer segment.
AC=51
To find AC, we should use the Segment Addition Postulate. This postulate tells us that, if we have a point between two points, we can add the lengths of the two smaller segments to find the longer segment length. In our case, C is between A and B, so AB is the sum of AC and CB.
AB= 62, CB= 11
LHS-11=RHS-11
Rearrange equation
The length AC is 51.
