The side of an equilateral triangle is 8 cm Find its median a) 4 cm b) 4 √ 3 cm c) 4√5 cm

An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all of its three sides have the same length. The median of a triangle is a line that connects its apex and the opposite side to each other.

To determine the length of the median of the specified triangle, we use the following formula:

m = (√3 / 2) * a, where a is the length of the side.

Since in our example a = 8 cm, then

m = (√3 / 2) * 8 = √3 * (8: 2) = 4 * √3.

Answer: The median of the triangle was 4 * √3.
