Point C is a point on the line segment AB with the length of 18cm. According to the following conditions, the length of AC and BC can be calculated. [1] AC is twice that of BC. [2] AC: BC = 3:2

Point C is a point on the line segment AB with the length of 18cm. According to the following conditions, the length of AC and BC can be calculated. [1] AC is twice that of BC. [2] AC: BC = 3:2

1) Let BC = x, AC = 2x
AC+BC=3X=18
X=6
AC=12
BC=6
2) Let AC = 3x and BC = 2x
AC+BC=18=5X
X=18/5
AC=3*18/5=10.8
BC=2*18/5=7.2
