We can use the great pythaogrean theorem to our advantage.
First off, let's set some variables.
Let's let BC = a and AC = b.
Now, using pythagoras, let's right some equations. We have
¯AM=√b2+(a2)2=12√4b2+a2 since AM is the median and we also have
¯BN=√a2+(b2)2=12√4a2+b2 since BN is also the median of the triangle.
Now, we're trying to isolate a^2+b^2 because that's how we find the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Thus, we now have
4b2+a2=224a2+b2=22
Now, adding the two equations up with each other and dividing both sides by 5, we find that
a2+b2=4+45=8/5
So the hypotenuse is that square rooted, which is √85
So √85 is our final answer.
Thanks! :)
