Question : In a triangle ABC, $\angle$BAC = 90°. If BC = 25 cm, then what is the length of the median AD?
Option 1: 10 cm
Option 2: 12.5 cm
Option 3: 14.5 cm
Option 4: 24 cm
Correct Answer: 12.5 cm
 
  Solution :
 
 
 
  Given:
  
  $\Delta ABC$ is a right triangle and BC is the hypotenuse.
  
  BC = 25 cm
  
  we know that
  
  $\text{Median of right triangle} =\ \frac{\text{Hypotenuse}}{2}$
  
  $=\ \frac{BC}{2}$
  
  $=\ \frac{25}{2}$
  
  $=\ 12.5$ cm
  
  Hence the length of the median is 12.5 cm.
