Question
In the given figure, ∆ABC is a right angled triangle, seg BD is the median on hypotenuse. Measure the lengths of the following segments.
i. AD
ii. DC
iii. BD
From the measurements verify that $BD =\frac{1}{2} AC$.

Answer

AD = DC = BD= 1.9 cm
AC = AD + DC [A – D – C]
= 1.9 + 1.9
= 2 x 1.9 cm
∴ AC = 2 x BD
$\therefore B D=\frac{1}{2} A C$
