Solution
In a right-angled triangle, the length of the median on its hypotenuse is half the length of the hypotenuse.
Since the length of the hypotenuse = 15 unit
We know that,
∴ Length of Median on its hypotenuse = `1/2xx"the length of the hypotenuse"`
= `1/2xx15`
= 7.5 units
Therefore, the length of the median of its hypotenuse is 7.5 units.
