Question

  1. if a triangle is equilateral and each angle measures 60 degrees, what can you deduce about the line drawn from one angle perpendicular to the opposite side? it forms a right angle triangle but doesnt bisect it bisects the angle only it bisects the angle and the opposite side it bisects the side only

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In an equilateral triangle, all sides and angles are equal. A perpendicular from a vertex to the opposite side (altitude) in an equilateral triangle also acts as an angle bisector (bisects the 60° angle into two 30° angles) and a median (bisects the opposite side into two equal parts). So the line drawn is an altitude, angle bisector, and median, meaning it bisects the angle and the opposite side.

Answer:

C. It bisects the angle and the opposite side (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with the third option being "It bisects the angle and the opposite side")
