The segment AB is divided by point C into two parts so that AC = 12 cm, BC = 6 cm.Find the ratio: a) AC / BC b) BC / AB

To solve this problem, the first step is to find the length of the segment AB. According to the condition of the problem, this segment was divided into 2 small segments AC and BC. Accordingly, the length AB will be equal to the sum of the segments into which it is divided. In this case, the segment AC is equal to 12, and BC is equal to 6. In this case, AB is equal to (12 + 6) 18 cm. Further, in order to find the ratio, it is necessary to divide this segment by the corresponding one. We get the following expression:

a) AC / AB

12/6 = 2

b) BC / AB

6/18 = 0.33

Answer: AC / AB = 2

BC / AB = 0.33
