Answer :

The value of AC = 23

According to the statement

Here we have given the values of tangent from the diagram

EC = 9, ED = 12, and BD = 20.

and we have to find the value of AC.

We know that the according to the given diagram the tangent

BE is always equal to the Tangent AE.

So, we generate a equation to find the AC then

BE = AE

Convert this into parts like

BD +DE = AC+CE

Substitute the values in it which are given in the statement

20+12 = AC + 9

32 = AC + 9

32 -9 = AC

AC = 23

So, The value of AC = 23
