Question

In an equilateral triangle, length of any side is half the sum of lengths of the other two sides. State true or false.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

In an equilateral triangle, all the sides are of equal in length. If one of the sides is $a$, the other two sides are also $a$. Therefore, for any side of length $a$, half the length of the remaining sides $=\frac{1}{2}\times 2a=a$.

So, in an equilateral triangle, length of any side is half the sum of lengths of the other two sides.
