Answer:

AC = 12 units.

Explanation:

Given : A triangle ABC with BD is the perpendicular bisector of AC.

To find : What is the length of AC.

Solution : We have given triangle ABC with BD is the perpendicular bisector of AC.

Bisector : Which cut the line equally in to two part.

So , BD cut AC in two equal part AD = DC.

We can write

AC = AD + DC.

Plug the values DC = 6 , AD =DC = 6.

AC = 6 + 6

AC = 12 units.

Therefore , AC = 12 units.
