Is there a diagram that goes along with the problem?

anonymous · Answer

no diagram

i think they stand for angles and sides like you said before

anonymous · Answer

OH, I misread.  I missed that "12 to c"

myininaya · Answer

A/B=a/8

B/C=12/c

A/c=2/1

what is a/c?


A/B * 8=a

B/C *c=12 => c=12*C/B

a/c=(A/B  * 8)/(12* C/B)=8/12 * A/C=2/3  * A/C

myininaya · Answer

but A/C=2/1=2

so a/c=2/3 * 2=4/3
