document.write( "For any right triangle, the median drawn to hypotenuse, has the length HALF of the hypotenuse.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, in your problem the hypotenuse length is  2*30.5 = 61 units.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, the other leg is   =  = 60 units.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the area of the triangle is   = 11*30 = 330 square units.\r\n" );
