The measure of BC from the figure shown is 26
What is a line?
A line is the distance between two points. From the given line AC;
AC = AB + BC
Given the following parameters
AC = 8x - 20
AB = 3x - 1
Required
Length BC
Substitute
8x-20 = 3x-1 + BC
BC = 8x-20 -(3x - 1)
BC = 8x - 20 - 3x + 1
BC = 5x - 19
Since B is the midpoint of AC, then;
AB = BC
3x - 1 = 5x - 19
-2x = -18
x = 9
Determine the length of BC
BC = 5(9) - 19
BC = 45 - 19
BC = 26
Hence the measure of BC from the figure shown is 26
