OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

Er... Do you have a length for AC?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes sorry iforqot to put that down . . the length for AC is 30

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

Wait... The length of AC is 30, and the length of AB is on-fourth the length of AC? Then the answer is not one of the ones you have listed.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh i see , uhmm how do you solve the problem? can you please explain it to me.

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

Well, if the length of AB is one fourth the length of AC, that means: \[AB = \frac{1}{4}AC = \frac{AC}{4} = AC \div 4\] That's pretty much it if you have the length of AC.
