How do you find the half of an equilateral triangle?
If a perpendicular bisector is drawn in an equilateral triangle, the triangle is divided in half, and each half is a congruent 30-60-90 right triangle.
What is half of an equilateral triangle called?
If we consider a right triangle with angle measures of 30, 60, and 90 degrees, and with the shortest side 1 unit long, then the hypotenuse must be 2 units long since the triangle can be thought of as half of an equilateral triangle.
How do you graph an equilateral triangle?
The easiest way is to use a protractor to draw three 120° angles around the center of the circle, and then connect the three points on the circle where the three angles intersect the circumference. That will result in an inscribed equilateral triangle.
