      Question

      If perpendicular and base of a right-angle triangle are

      30 cm and 40 cm respectively, then find the length of the shortest median of triangle.
      A 25 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 15 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 30 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 20 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Using Pythagoras theorem, (Perpendicular)² + (Base)² = (Hypotenuse)² Or, 30² + 40² = (Hypotenuse)² Or, (Hypotenuse)² = 900 + 1600 = 2500 So, Hypotenuse = 50 cm Shortest median of a right-angle triangle = Circumradius = (Hypotenuse/2) = (50/2) = 25 cm Hence, option A.
