Another excellent video. Thank you.

I came to this video from your video "Calculate the Area of the Right Triangle. Geometry problem." of 28 Sept 2023.

You are very didactic and therefore very helpful for students.

I hope your channel does great ^^ Another proof (equally brief) would be to draw the parallelogram; x is half its diagonal (by Thales theorem, it's in analogy to CN/CB=1/2), so it is half of the other diagonal (CB) = AM= 10.

If you consider AB as a diameter to a circle with center at M it must pass point C (Thales circle theorem). Therefore x is equal to 10.

Easy. 10.

Since ABC is a rectangular triangle, AB is the hypotenuse and thus the diameter of the Thales circle. As M is the midpoint of the hypotenuse and therefore the center of the Thales circle, AM and BM are radii of said circle. And so is CM.

Hola a todos...lo razoné así: ese triángulo es rectángulo, luego se puede inscribir en media circunferencia, luego la mediana es también radio e igual a 10...!!

A much quicker method. Let AB be a diameter of a circle of radius 10 (IE midpoint of the hypotenuse). Any right angle triangle drawn from AB to meet at C must have point C upon the circumference of that circle, ipso facto MC is a radius of that circle and is equal to half the hypotenuse.
This is the obverse of the rule that two chords drawn to meet at a point on the cumference from either end of the diameter must automatically form a 90° angle.

median theorem 20^2=AC^2+BC^2=2(x^2+10^2) ∴x=10

∆ABC is a right triangle and ∠C=90º → ∆ABC Inscribed in a semicircle with diameter AB and radius AM=10 → Point M is the center of the semicircle and point C belongs to the semicircle → MC is a radius of the semicircle → MC=AM=10=X
Thanks and best regards
