Question 920689: If B is the midpoint of AC and the length of AC is 23.8, what is the length of AB

x= the length of AB
Since B is the midpoint of AC x= the length of BC too,
and the length of AC is the sum of the lengths of AB and BC.
so x%2Bx=23.8--->2x=23.8--->x=23.8%2F2--->highlight%28x=11.9%29
