    In the given figure, PQRS is a straight line R is the mid point of OS and 0 is the mid point of PS. S is (6, 5), R is (3, 5) and T is (4, 8). Find the length of median TU.

    A)  \[\sqrt{13}\]units       

    B)  \[\sqrt{50}\]units      

    C)         \[2\sqrt{28}\]units    

    D)         \[\sqrt{58}\]units

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given, TU is median of PQ. \[\Rightarrow \] U is mid point of PQ. Also, R is mid point of QS. (Given) \[\therefore \]  Coordinates of \[Q=(6-6,10-5)=(0,5)\] Q is mid point of PS (Given) \[\therefore \]  Coordinates of             \[P=(0-6,\,\,10-5)=(-6,\,5)\]. Hence, coordinates of \[U=\left( \frac{-6+0}{2},\frac{5+5}{2} \right)=(-3,5)\] \[\therefore \]    Length of median TU \[=\sqrt{{{(-3-4)}^{2}}+{{(5-8)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{49+9}=\sqrt{58}\] units.
