Question

question 40 of 49
in the diagram below, c is the mid - point of $overline{ab}$. if $ac$ is 6 centimeters, what is the length of $cb$?
a. 8 cm
b. 12 cm
c. 6 cm
d. 3 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Recall mid - point property

A mid - point divides a line segment into two equal parts.
If \(C\) is the mid - point of \(\overline{AB}\), then \(AC = CB\).

Step2: Substitute given value

Given that \(AC = 6\) centimeters. Since \(AC = CB\), then \(CB=6\) centimeters.

Answer:

C. 6 cm
