Question

The length of hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 15. Find the length of median of its hypotenuse.

Sum

Solution

In a right-angled triangle, the length of the median on its hypotenuse is half the length of the hypotenuse. 

Since the length of the hypotenuse = 15 unit

We know that, 

∴ Length of Median on its hypotenuse = `1/2xx"the length of the hypotenuse"`

= `1/2xx15`

= 7.5 units

Therefore, the length of the median of its hypotenuse is 7.5 units.
