The lengths (in cm) of three sides of a triangle are, respectively, 48, 55 and 73. What is the length (in cm) of the median joining the mid-point of the longest side to its opposite vertex? |
27.5 73 24 36.5 |
36.5 |
If the medians are in a Pythagorean triplet then, the length (in cm) of the median joining the mid-point of the longest side to its opposite vertex is half of the largest median. Largest median = 73 Median joining the mid point of the longest side = \(\frac{73}{2}\) = 36.5 |
