In a triangle ABC , if \(\mathrm{BC}=5, \mathrm{CA}=6, \mathrm{AB}=7\), then the length of the median drawn from B onto AC is

  1. A 5
  2. B \(7 \sqrt{5}\)
  3. C \(7 \sqrt{2}\)
  4. D \(2 \sqrt{7}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2 \sqrt{7}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(b=6, c=7, a=5\) Median from B onto \(\mathrm{AC}=\sqrt{\frac{2 a^2+2 c^2-b^2}{4}}\) \(=\sqrt{\frac{2 \times 25+2 \times 49-36}{4}}=2 \sqrt{7}\)
