    Question

    If perpendicular and base of a right-angle triangle is,

    18 cm and 24 cm, respectively, then find the length of the shortest median of triangle.
    A 12 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 15 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 9 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 20 cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Using Pythagoras theorem, (Perpendicular)┬▓ + (Base)┬▓ = (Hypotenuse)┬▓ Or, 18┬▓ + 24┬▓ = (Hypotenuse)┬▓ Or, (Hypotenuse)┬▓┬а= 324 + 576 = 900 Since, the hypotenuse of a triangle cannot be negative. So, Hypotenuse = 30 cm Shortest median of a right-angle triangle = Circumradius = (Hypotenuse/2) = (30/2) = 15 cm
