Set up the following equation for this segment:

x is segment AB's length, and 3x is segment BC's length. 20 is segment AC's length.

Combine like terms:

Divide both sides by 4 to get x by itself:

x will equal 5.

Plug this value into the values for both segments:

Segment AB:

Segment AB is 5 inches long.

Segment BC:

Segment BC is 15 inches long.
