9.3. Given a triangle $A B C$. A line parallel to $A C$ intersects sides $A B$ and $B C$ at points $P$ and $T$ respectively, and the median $A M$ at point $Q$. It is known that $P Q=3$, and $Q T=5$. Find the length of $A C$.
<think>Answer: $AC=11$. Solution. First method. Draw a line through point $Q$ parallel to $BC$ (where $N$ and $L$ are the points of intersection of this line with sides $AB$ and $AC$ respectively, see Fig. 9.3a). Since $AM$ is the median of triangle $ABC$, then $LQ=NQ$. Moreover, $PT \| AC$, so $PQ$ is the midline of ...
