The median to the hypotenuse of a right triangle that is 12 inches in length is 6 inches.
It is the median which divides the side which is not one of the equal sides.
they are the same because the triangles side is equal
It is the line joining the midpoints of two sides of a polygon - usually a triangle. This line will be parallel to the third side. The three median-median lines will divide any triangle into 4 congruent triangles that are similar to the original.It is the line joining the midpoints of two sides of a polygon - usually a triangle.

Medians bisect the sides of ALL triangles. That is what a median is, by definition!
For the equilateral triangle in Euclidean space(i.e, the triangles you see in general) median is the same as its altitude. So, both are of equal length.
Let the triangle be ABC and suppose the median AD is also an altitude.AD is a median, therefore BD = CDAD is an altitude, therefore angle ADB = angle ADC = 90 degreesThen, in triangles ABD and ACD,AD is common,angle ADB = angle ADCand BD = CDTherefore the two triangles are congruent (SAS).And therefore AB = AC, that is, the triangle is isosceles.
In a isosceles triangle, the altitude is also a median. If we draw the altitude, then two congruent right triangles are formed, with hypotenuse length of 12m and base length 5 m (10/2). So the length of hypotenuse, by the Pythagorean theorem is h^2 = 12^2 - 5^2 h = √(144 - 25) h = √119 h ≈ 10.9
The median is a line from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite line and an altitude is a line from a vertex to the opposite line which is perpendicular to the line. These are NOT the same thing in most triangles. The only time they could be the same is in an equilateral triangle.
A median of a triangle is a line from a vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the side opposite that vertex.
The median of a triangle cannot be considered as a base of that triangle.
The median of a triangle bisects its side
