ABC is a triangle, where ∠BAC = 90˚, If BC = 10 cm. What is the length of the median AD, in cm?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 5.
In a right-angled triangle, the perpendicular drawn from the right angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle, the perpendicular is equal to the half og the hypotenuse.
In the given question, AD = ½ × BC
⇒ AD = ½ × 10
⇒ AD = 5 cm
