The lengths (in cm) of three sides of a triangle are, respectively, 48, 55 and 73. What is the length (in cm) of the median joining the mid-point of the longest side to its opposite vertex?

Sides of the triangle: 48 cm, 55 cm, and 73 cm. 

Concept Used: ​

Using Pythagorean theorem: 

​$$(hypotenuse)^2 = (base)^2 + ( perpendicular)^2$$  

For a right angle triangle; 

length of median = $$\frac{hypotenuse}{2}$$​​
