Question

If C is the midpoint of segment AB and AB = 20, what is AC?

5
10
20
40

Answer 1

Answer:

AC= 10

Step-by-step explanation:

If AB is equal to 20 and C is the midpoint (meaning half of the segment), then you simply divide 20 by 2 which equals to 10.

Answer 2

Look at the image below for a drawing of the segment.

We know that the midpoint divides the segment in half. Which means that the length of the whole segment divided by 2 is equal to the length of one part of the segment

AC = AB / 2

AC = 20 / 2

AC = 10
