The angles in an equilateral triangle are 60 degrees.
sin 60 = 9 / h where h is hypotenuse ( = side of the triangle)
h = 9 / sin 60 = 10.392
Perimeter = 3 * h = 31.18 to nearest hundredth
A point that bisects a segment would be its midpoint. This is a case where the vocabulary (bisect as opposed to midpoint) makes it harder.
To find the midpoint, we use the midpoint formula. The midpoint formula is:
midpoint = (x₁ + x₂/2, y₁ + y/2). To find it, you add the x coordinates and then divide them by 2. Repeat for the y coordinates.
x: (-2 + 6)/2 = 4/2 = 2
y: (5 +1)/2 = 6/2 = 3
Thus the point B bisecting AC is at (2, 3).
Hope this helped! the answer is 2^7
