Question

in triangle ABC three sides are 5 CM, 4 cm and 2 cm find the length of median from the smallest angle vertex​

Answer 1

Here,

a=5,b=12,c=13

s=

2

1

(a+b+c)=15

Area of the triangle, A =

s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)

A=

15(15−5)(15−12)(15−13)

A=30 cm

2

Let p be the length of perpendicular. Then,

A= 21 ×13×p

Therefore,

21×13×p=30

p= 13/60 cm
