Step-by-step explanation:
Given: In triangle ABC,angle BAC =90°and BL and CM are medians of triangle ABC
To Prove:4(BL^2+ CM^2) - 5BC^2
Proof:BL is the median
AL=CL=AC/2 ...(i)
CM is the median
AM =MB=AB/2 ...(ii)
In right triangle BAC
BC^2= AB^2+AC^2 (iii)
In right triangle BAL
BL^2= AB^2+AL^2
BL^2= AB^2+(AC/2)^2 ... [From(i)]
BL^2= AB^2+AC^2/4
4BL^2= 4AB^2+AC^2 ..(iv)
In right triangle MAC
CM^2=AM^2+AC^2
CM^2= (AB/2)^2+AC^2 [From(ii)]
CM^2= AB^2/4+AC^2
4CM^2= AB^2+4AC^2 ...(v)
Adding (iv) and (v)
4BL^2+4CM^2= 4AB^2+AC^2+AB^2+4AC^2
4(BL^2+CM^2) =5AB^2+5AC^2
4(BL^2+CM^2) =5(AB^2+AC^2)
4(BL^2+CM^2) =5BC^2 [From(iii)]
4(BL^2+CM^2) -5BC^2
Hence proved
