The diagram depicts a geometric figure where Line \( l \) is the perpendicular bisector of line segment \( \overline{AB} \). The key elements of the figure include:

- Points \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) that form triangle \( \triangle ABC \).
- Line segment \( \overline{AB} \) is bisected by the perpendicular line \( l \) at point \( D \), creating two equal segments, \( \overline{AD} \) and \( \overline{DB} \).
- The length from point \( C \) to the midpoint \( D \) (line \( \overline{CD} \)) is 3 cm. There is a right angle between line \( l \) and line \( \overline{AB} \) at point \( D \).

The task is to find the length of line segment \( \overline{AC} \).

Below the diagram, there is a text input box labeled "Find AC:" followed by "cm" where learners are expected to input their answer for the length of \( \overline{AC} \).

This exercise is designed to enhance understanding of geometric properties, specifically bisectors and triangle symmetry.
