Is it possible to solve this or too many unknowns?
$begingroup$
Here are what I know.
- Length of $AB$ is known (and is variable)
- Lines with arrows are parallel
$ A$ and $B$ are right angle to each other (not sure if this is the correct term)- Angle $A$ is known (and is variable)
$AC$ is the bisector of angle $ A$
What I need to find is $AC$
Is it possible to find a formula to get length of $AC$?

$textbf{Hint:}$ Vertical angles are equal and Alternate interior angles are equal. $$sinleft(dfrac{A}{2}right)=dfrac{AB}{AC}$$
