Answer:

X=13. y=5 AC=20

Step-by-step explanation:

To do this we first have to find the value of x... giving the fact that DE is a mid segment, We know that the length of BC is double the length of DE this means that the length of BC equals 16. So, to equal 16 x will have to equal 13 so 13 + 3 = 16. Now we will find the value of y. We do this by looking at the length of ae and ec. AE equals EC so now that we know x equals 13 we can do 13 minus 3 equals 10 for AE. since EC has to equal 10 we can do 10 minus 5 which equals 5. We now know that y equals 5. We can now add this all up to find the length of AC. We would do 10 + 10 = 20. Hope this helps!

The length of AC from the diagram is 25

To get the value of x and y, we will use the similarity theorem of a triangle

BC = 2DE

x + 3 = 2(8)

x + 3 = 16

x = 16 - 3

x = 13

Hence BC = 16

From the given figure;

AE/DE = AC/BC

x-3/8 = (x-3+y+5)/x+3

10/8 = 15+y/13

130 = 8(15+y)

130 = 120 + y

y  = 10

Get the length of AC

AC = 13-3+10+5

AC = 25

Hence the length of AC from the diagram is 25
