उत्तर
Given: Δ ABC right angled at A, i.e., A = 90, where BL and CM are the medians.
To Prove: 4(BL2 + CM2) = 5BC2
Proof:
Since BL is the median,
AL = CL = `1/2` AC ...(1)
Similarly, CM is the median
AM = MB = `1/2`AB ...(2)
∴ by Pythagoras theorem,
(Hypotenuse)2 = (Height)2 + (Base)2 ...(3)
In ΔBAC,
(BC)2 = (AB)2 + (AC)2 ...(4)
∠BAC = 90°
In ΔBAL,
(BL)2 = AB2 + AL2 ...(From 1)
BL2 = AB2 + `(("AC")/2)^2`
BL2 = AB2 + `("AC"^2/4)`
Multiply both sides by 4,
4BL2 = 4AB2 + AC2 ...(5)
In ΔMAC,
CM2 = AM2 + AC2 ...(From 2)
CM2 = `(("AB")/2)^2` + AC2
CM2 = `("AB")^2/4` + AC2
Multiply both sides by 4,
4CM2 = AB2 + 4AC2 ...(6)
Adding 5 and 6,
4BL2 + 4CM2 = (4AB2 + AC2) + (AB2 + 4AC2)
4(BL2 + CM2) = 5AB2 + 5AC2
∴ 4(BL2 + CM2) = 5BC2
Hence, proved.

Activity: From given figure, In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠ACB = 30°
∴ ∠BAC = `square`
∴ ∆ABC is 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ In ∆ABC by property of 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AB = `1/2` AC and `square` = `sqrt(3)/2` AC
∴ `square` = `1/2 xx 12` and BC = `sqrt(3)/2 xx 12`
∴ `square` = 6 and BC = `6sqrt(3)`
