In triangle $ABC,$ $M$ is the midpoint of $\overline{AB}.$ Let $D$ be the point on $\overline{BC}$ such that $\overline{AD}$ bisects $\angle BAC,$ and let the perpendicular bisector of $\overline{AB}$ intersect $\overline{AD}$ at $E.$ If $AB = 44$ and $ME = 12,$ then find the distance from $E$ to line $AC$.
+23245 AD is the bisector of angle(A).
Every point on the bisector of an angle is equally distant from the two sides of the angle.
The distance from a point to a side of the angle is measured by the perpendicular distance to the side.
ME is perpendicular to AB and the length of ME is 12; this is the distance from the point to the side of the angle.
Therefore, the distance from E to AC is also 12.
