median is the half part of hypotenuse because median divides a hypotenuse into two parts and thus makes an equal half

Right triangle ABC
Draw BD medium from B to D i.e D will be mid point of AC.
Now const. DE parallel to BC .
......now E will also be mid point of AB ( by mid point theorem.)
Congruent triangle AED and BDE by SAS
.....you will get BD = AD. by cpct .
also AD = DS
thus AD = BD= DC.
it is proved that BD = 1/2 AC.
means 1/2hypo = median.
