By theorem and perpendicular drawn from a right angle of a right angle triangle when the line is perpendicular to the hypotenuse we get that DP is a perpendicular bisector of faces since it is a perpendicular bisector ac. equals to PC

Answer :
Let, triangle ABC be a right angle triangle at ∠B
Let P be the mid-point of hypotenuse AC
Draw a circle with centre P and AC as diameter
Since,
∠ABC = 90°
Therefore, the circle passes through B
Therefore,
BP = Radius
Also,
AP = CP = Radius
Therefore,
AP = BP = CP
Hence, BP = ½ AC
