If D is the midpoint of BC in △ABC and ∠A = 90⁰, then AD = _______.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. BC2\frac{BC}{2}.

Given that

If D is the midpoint of BC in △ABC and ∠A = 90⁰

as D is the midpoint of BC, so AD = BD = DC

BC = BD + DC = 2BD = 2AD

Hence, AD = BC/2
