line CD bisects AB at point C. Find AC if AB = 56 feet
To find the length of AC, we need to understand that a line segment bisects another line segment when it divides it into two equal parts. In this case, line CD bisects line AB at point C.
Since line CD bisects line AB, we can conclude that AC = CB. This is because a bisecting line divides a line segment into two equal parts.
Given that AB = 56 feet, and AC is equal to CB, we can divide AB by 2 to find the length of AC (or CB), as they are equal.
AC = CB = AB/2 = 56 feet / 2 = 28 feet.
Therefore, AC is equal to 28 feet.
