A triangle has corners at points A, B, and C. Side AB has a length of #42 #. The distance between the intersection of point A's angle bisector with side BC and point B is #16 #. If side AC has a length of #32 #, what is the length of side BC?

Explanation:
Let
We need to find the length of
For that, we use the angle bisector theorem
#color(blue)(("BM")/("CM")=("AB")/("AC")#
So,
Cross multiply
So the length of
