If the length of the three sides of a triangle are 6 cm, 8 cm and 10 cm, then the length of the median to its greatest side is
-
- 8 cm
- 6 cm
- 5 cm
- 4.8 cm
- 8 cm
Correct Option: C
As per the given in question , we draw a figure triangle ABC
Here, 6² + 8² = 10²
∴ ∆ ABC is a right angled triangle.
AC = 10 cm
Point D is the mid-point of side BC.
Point D is equidistant from the vertices A, B and C.
∴ AD = BD = CD = 5 cm
