Q.In right-angled triangle ABC, \(\angle B = 90^\circ\), and M is the midpoint of the hypotenuse drawn from point B. If AB = 6 and AC = 8, then what is the length of BM? (a) 10 (b) 4 (c) 16 (d) None of the above
Answer: B
\(\because\) M is the midpoint of AC Therefore, AM = \(\frac{1}{2}\)AC = 4 units In a right-angled triangle, the midpoint of the hypotenuse is the center of the circumcircle of the triangle. \(\therefore\) BM = AM = 4 units.
