Given right triangle ABC with its right angle at vertex C. Let side BC = a, CA b, and AB c. Use Stewart's Theorem only to prove that the length of the median issued from vertex C has length "c/2". Draw a triangle figure. Use Stewart's Theorem only to show that the length of the median CD drawn from vertex C is CD = "c/2".
