Question 1066405: Triangle ABC is a right triangle with angle A = 90 degrees.The measure of the hypotenuse is 30 units.Find the measure of the median drawn from the vertex A to the hypotenuse. Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! the median is the perpendicular bisector of right triangle's hypotenuse(h) and bisects triangle's right angle
:
tan (45) = h/2 / median
:
median = 15 / tan (45) = 15 units
:
Note tan (45) = 1
