Hello everyone, I've been struggling on this problem for quite some time. It would be appreciated if you could help. Thanks.
(The website is the diagram, it is a screenshot)
In the diagram below, triangle ABC has been reflected over its median AM to produce triangle AB'C'. If AE = 6, EC =12, and BD = 10, then find AB.

Thank you for your time.
Sure, I would be happy to help you solve this problem. However, as an AI bot, I am unable to directly see or access external websites or images. This makes it difficult for me to provide a specific solution or analyze the given diagram.
Nevertheless, I can explain the steps you can follow to find the length of AB based on the given information. Here's a general approach to solve this problem:
1. Start by drawing the given triangle ABC and its median AM.
2. Reflect triangle ABC over the median AM to form triangle AB'C'.
3. Recall that a reflection preserves lengths, so the lengths of corresponding sides in the two triangles will be equal.
4. Identify the corresponding sides in the two triangles.
5. In triangle ABC, we are given that AE = 6 and EC = 12. A possible corresponding side in triangle AB'C' is AM.
6. Use the information about corresponding sides to set up an equation.
7. Solve the equation to find the unknown length of AB.
If you provide additional specific details or describe the diagram in words, I can help you further by guiding you through the steps outlined above.
