    Question

    If perpendicular and base of a right-angle triangle are

    6 cm and 8 cm respectively, then find the length of the shortest median of triangle.
    A 4 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 5 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 6 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Using Pythagoras theorem, (Perpendicular)² + (Base)² = (Hypotenuse)² Or, 6² + 8² = (Hypotenuse)² Or, (Hypotenuse)² = 36 + 64 = 100 Since the hypotenuse cannot be negative, So, Hypotenuse = 10 cm Shortest median of a right-angle triangle = Circumradius = (Hypotenuse/2) = (10/2) = 5 cm Hence, option B.
