Problem Analysis

We are given that the line segments AB and DC are parallel, and the line segments AC and BD intersect at point M. We need to find the length of MC given that AB = 16, DC = 24, and AC = 25.

Solution

To find the length of MC, we can use the property of similar triangles. Since AB and DC are parallel, we can see that triangles AMC and BMD are similar. This means that the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

Let's denote the length of MC as x. Using the similarity of triangles AMC and BMD, we can set up the following proportion:

AC/AB = MC/BD

Substituting the given values, we have:

25/16 = x/BD

To find BD, we can use the fact that triangles BDC and ABC are similar. This gives us the following proportion:

BD/DC = AB/AC

Substituting the given values, we have:

BD/24 = 16/25

Simplifying this proportion, we find:

BD = (24 * 16) / 25 = 15.36

Now we can substitute the value of BD into the first proportion to find MC:

25/16 = x/15.36

Cross-multiplying, we get:

16x = 25 * 15.36

Solving for x, we find:

x = (25 * 15.36) / 16 = 24

Therefore, the length of MC is 24.
