Card 1 of 8
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?

If B is the midpoint of AC, then AC is twice as long as AB. We are told that AB=6.

The diagram shows six units between points A and B, with B as the midpoint of segment AC. Therefore segment BC is also six units long, so line AC is twelve units long.

If B is the midpoint of AC, then AC is twice as long as AB. We are told that AB=6.
