Question

) In ABC, points P and Qlie on sides
AB and AC respectively such that PQ || BC.
If AP = 5 cm, PB = 12 cm and AQ = 8 cm,
then AC = ......... cm.​

Answer 1

In which☺️ class do you study?...............

Answer 2

Answer:

AP=5 cm,

PB=12 cm

then,

AB=AP+BP

=(5+12)cm

=17 cm

AQ=8 cm

so by Thales' theorem

AP/AB=AQ/AC

5/17=8/AC

AC=8*17 / 5

=136/5

=27.2

therefore, AC=27.2 cm
