If an equilateral triangle has a perimeter of 48, what is the length of the perpendicular bisector of any of its sides?(1 point) Responses 8 8 163–√ 16 Start Root 3 End Root 16 16 83–√
1 answer
The length of the perpendicular bisector of any side of an equilateral triangle is equal to half the length of that side. Since the perimeter of the triangle is 48 and all sides are equal, each side has a length of 48/3 = 16. Therefore, the length of the perpendicular bisector of any side is 16/2 = 8. The correct response is 8.
