Triangle ABC is right-angled at C with AB = 48 and AC= 64.The perpendicular bisector of BC meets AC at E. What is the length of AE?
---------------------------------------------------------------
In your triangle AB is the hypotenuse and AC is the leg, ACCORDING to your condition (C is right-angle, as you said).
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If C is the right angle, AB is the hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse is the longest side of a right triangle.
If AC is longer than AB, C cannot be a right angle.
Moreover, if it is a right triangle (C=right angle),
the perpendicular bisector of BC will not meet AC,
it will meet AB.
