Answer : 2√3
<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
- A equilateral triangle with side length 4.
<u>To </u><u>Find</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>
- The value of x in the given figure.
As we know that in a equilateral triangle , perpendicular bisector , angle bisector and median coincide with each other .
- So the perpendicular drawn in the figure will bisect the given side .
- Therefore the value of each half will be 4/2 = 2 .
Now we may use Pythagoras theorem as ,
→ AB² = BC² + AC²
→ 4² = 2² + x²
→ 16 = 4 + x²
→ x² = 16-4
→ x² = 12
→ x =√12 = √{ 3 * 2²}
→ x = 2√3
<u>Hence </u><u>the</u><u> required</u><u> answer</u><u> is</u><u> </u><u>2</u><u>√</u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>.</u>
I hope this helps.
