Solution

To find the lengths of FC FC in triangle AABC AABC where F F and D D bisect EC EC and BC BC respectively, we can follow these steps:

1. Break Down the Problem

Identify the relationships given in the problem:

  • F F bisects EC EC , meaning EF=FC EF = FC .
  • D D bisects BC BC , meaning BD=DC BD = DC .

2. Relevant Concepts

The concept of a bisector implies that the two segments created by F F and D D are equal in length. This means: EF=FC EF = FC and BD=DC BD = DC

3. Analysis and Detail

Let’s assign some variables to the lengths:

  • Let EC=x EC = x . Since F F bisects EC EC , then: EF=FC=x2 EF = FC = \frac{x}{2}

We also need to consider the total lengths and how they relate to possible provided answers. Since triangle dimensions are not provided, we cannot calculate specific numerical terms. However, we check against the given options which are 9 cm,8 cm,6 cm, 9 \text{ cm}, 8 \text{ cm}, 6 \text{ cm}, and 7 cm 7 \text{ cm} .

4. Verify and Summarize

To find FC FC :

  1. FC FC can only be calculated if we know the total length EC EC .
  2. Given the equal segments formed by the bisection, FC FC would be half of EC EC .

Based on the options presented:

  • If EC=18 EC = 18 cm, FC=9 FC = 9 cm.
  • If EC=16 EC = 16 cm, FC=8 FC = 8 cm.
  • If EC=12 EC = 12 cm, FC=6 FC = 6 cm.
  • If EC=14 EC = 14 cm, FC=7 FC = 7 cm.

As no specific length for EC EC is given, we will select potential answers based on common segment bisector results.

Final Answer

Based on given options, the lengths of FC FC could be 9 cm,8 cm,6 cm, 9 \text{ cm}, 8 \text{ cm}, 6 \text{ cm}, or 7 cm 7 \text{ cm} . Thus, without loss of generality in assignment, all options are conditionally possible based on the original length EC EC . Please clarify lengths or provide additional dimension information to select a definitive answer.
