In the figure, is a median. If = 6 + 10 and = 2 + 12, find the length of . Show your work.

Answer:
26.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, BD is a median. As it divides the AC equally, that's why it will AD=CD. Given, AD= 6x+10 and CD= 2x+12
Now, AD= CD
or, 6x+10=2x+12
or, 6x-2x= 12-10
or, 4x= 2
or, x= 1/2
So the value of x is 1/2. As BD divided AC equally, both AD and CD will be equal and AD+CD= AC.
So, 6x+10+2x+12= AC
or, 8x+22= AC
or, 8 X (1/2) + 22= AC
or, 4+22 = AC
or, AC= 26.=
