In the given Fig, ABC is a right triangle, right angled at B. AD and CE are two medians drawn from A and C respectively. If AC = 5 cm and find the length of CE.
In the given Fig., ∠ACB = 90° and CD ⊥ AB. Prove that
We know that,
If a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a right triangle to the hypotenuse then triangles on both sides of the perpendicular are similar to the whole triangle and to each other.
And
From (i) and (ii)
Hence,
