Place right angle at the origin and label it A. Use coordinate that are multiple of 2 because the midpoint formula takes half the sum of the coodinates.

\

Given:   Right \"\" with hypotenuse \"\". L is the midpoint of  \"\"

\

Prove:   L is equadistance from each of the vertices.

\

Proof:   Use midpoint formula to find the coordinates of midpoint L of \"\".

\

              \"\"

\

             The coordinates of L are a and b.\"\"

\

             Now find the distance between each vertices and the point L using distance formula.

\

             \"\"

\

             \"\"

\

             \"\"

\

             So, mid point L is equidistance from each vertex.\"graph\"\"

\

Midpoint L of the hypotenus of a right triangle is equidistance from each vertex.
