Answer : 2√3
Given :-
- A equilateral triangle with side length 4.
To Find :-
- 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
Hence the required answer is 2√3 .
I hope this helps.
