Question
- 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
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.

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")
