The median to the hypotenuse of a right triangle that is 12 inches in length is 6 inches.
the length of the hypotenuse is 10.63
If it's a right angle triangle then:- a2+b2 = c2 where 'c' is the hypotenuse and the square root of this is the length of the hypotenuse when 'a' and 'b' are the other sides of the right angle triangle.
Using Pythagoras' theorem the length of the hypotenuse is 37
32 +82 =9+64=73 So the hypotenuse is of length square root of 73
