Algebra.Com's Answer #490969 by TimothyLamb(4379)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the median to the hypotenuse forms a new isosceles right triangle with each leg of the original triangle, so each leg length (L) is given by: \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "L = sqrt( m^2 + m^2 ) \n" ); document.write( "where m is the length of the median \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "L = sqrt( 10^2 + 10^2 ) \n" ); document.write( "L = sqrt( 2*100 ) \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Answer: \n" ); document.write( "L = sqrt(2)*10 \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Solve and graph linear equations: \n" ); document.write( "https://sooeet.com/math/linear-equation-solver.php \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Solve quadratic equations, quadratic formula: \n" ); document.write( "https://sooeet.com/math/quadratic-formula-solver.php \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Convert fractions, decimals, and percents: \n" ); document.write( "https://sooeet.com/math/fraction-decimal-percent.php \n" ); document.write( "--- \n" ); document.write( "Calculate and graph the linear regression of any data set: \n" ); document.write( "https://sooeet.com/math/linear-regression.php \n" ); document.write( " |
