1) What is the length of the AC segment?

Since the length of the segment AC is 2 times longer than BC, then

AC = BC * 2 = 4 * 2 = 8 cm.

2) What is the length of the segment AB?

Since point C is the inner point of the segment AB, then the length of the segment AB is equal to the sum of the lengths of the segments AC and BC, that is

AB = AC + BC = 8 + 4 = 12 cm.

Answer: the length of the segment AB is 12 cm.
