A:
Answer:LENGTH OF AC IS 6Step-by-step explanation:Given :the side AC = x ;we need to find x;since ∠A = ∠C , It's an isosceles triangle . i.e ,the sides opposite to the angles ( AB and CB ) are also equal.thus ,side AB = x+4 ;CB = 3x-8 ;thus AB = CB or ,x+4 = 3x-8 ,2x = 12 ,x = 6 ;therefore the side AC is 6.
