find the DB =[tex]\displaystyle\bf \sqrt{17^2-8^2} =15[/tex]  ; now find AD=AB-DB=21-15=6  .Then                AC=[tex]\displaystyle\bf \sqrt{AD^2+CD^2} =\sqrt{6^2+8^2} =10[/tex]  

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in both right triangles

To find BD

BD² + CD² = BC²

BD² + 8² = 17²

BD² + 64 = 289 ( subtract 64 from both sides )

BD² = 225 ( take the square root of both sides )

BD = [tex]\sqrt{225}[/tex] = 15

Then

AD = AB - BD = 21 - 15 = 6

To find AC

AC² = AD² + CD²

AC² = 6² + 8² = 36 + 64 = 100 ( take the square root of both sides )

AC = [tex]\sqrt{100}[/tex] = 10 → C
