Question

A median is drawn on the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle. The length of the hypotenuse is 6 m . What is the length of the median ?

• A. 6 m
• B. 2 m
• C. 3 m
• D. 7 m

Answer 1

The correct option is C 3 m

When a median is drawn on the hypotenuse of a right angled triangle, the length of the median will be equal to half of the length of the hypotenuse.

Given : length of the hypotenuse = 6 m

So, length of the median = half of 6 m = 3 m
