Q2 of 45 Page 38

The length of hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle is 15. Find the length of median of its hypotenuse.

Length of hypotenuse of right-angled triangle = 15


We know, the length of the median of the hypotenuse is half the length


of the hypotenuse.


i.e.


Length of median of its hypotenuse = 1/2 × length of hypotenuse


Length of median of its hypotenuse = 1/2 × 15


= 7.5


∴ Length of median of its hypotenuse is 7.5
