The points a, b, and c reside on a line segment. b is the midpoint of ac. if line ab measures 6 units in length, what is the length of line ac?

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A6B?C

Midpoint is center that divides the line segment into two equal halves.

∴    AB = BC

If line AB measures 6 units in length, then, line BC will measure 6 units in length.

     AB = BC = 6 units

     AC = AB + BC

     AC = 6 units + 6 units

     AC = 12 units

OR

We can say If B is the midpoint of AC, then AC is twice as long as AB.

     AC = 2AB

     AC = 2 × 6 units

     AC = 12 units        

Therefore, the length of line AC is 12 units.  

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.

hope this : )
