Question

Equilateral triangle ABC has a perimeter of 96 millimeters. A perpendicular bisector is drawn from angle A to side BC at point M. What is the length of MC?

Answer 1

the answer is 16 mm on edg 

Answer 2

Answer: Length of MC is 16 milimeters

Explanation:

Since we have given that

There is an equilateral triangle which has a perimeter of 96 milimeters.

As we know the formula for "Perimeter of equilateral triangle "

`Perimeter=3* Side\\\\96=3* Side\\\\(96)/(3)=Side\\\\32\ milimeter=Side`

Since a perpendicular bisector is drawn from angle A to side BC at point M.

As we know that perpendicular bisector divide the line segment into two equal parts .

So, Length of MC will be

`(32)/(2)=16\ milimeter`

Hence, Length of MC is 16 milimeters.
