Question

The length of the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 17 cm, therefore the length of the median of its hypotenuse is ________​

Answer 1

The length of the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 17 cm, therefore the length of the median of its hypotenuse is 8.5

Answer 2

Given: The length of the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is 17 cm.

To find: length of the median of its hypotenuse

Solution:

Know that, the median to the hypotenuse has the property that its length is equal to half the length of the hypotenuse.

Find the length of the median of the hypotenuse.

Length of the median of the hypotenuse$=\frac{17}{2}$

                                                                   $=8.5 cm$

Hence,

The length of the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle is 17 cm, therefore the length of the median of its hypotenuse is 8.5 cm.
