Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: 24.3

Solution :
Since 48, 55, and 73 are triplets
$ riangle ABC$ is a right-angled triangle and $\angle B = 90^\circ$
We know that in a right-angled triangle,
Length of the median from the right-angled vertex = $\frac{ ext{Length of hypotenuse}}{2}$
⇒ $BM = \frac{AC}{2} = \frac{73}{2}$
And we know that OB : OM = 2 : 1
$ herefore OB = \frac{2}{3} × \frac{73}{2}= 24.33$ cm
Hence, the correct answer is 24.3.
