Triangle Median Length Calculator
This calculator computes the triangle median length: exact formula mₐ = ½√(2b²+2c²−a²), worked example a = 10, b = 8, c = 6 cm → m_a = 5 cm.

How the triangle median length Calculator Works
The calculator applies the exact formula m_a = ½·√(2b² + 2c² − a²). Worked example: a = 10, b = 8, c = 6 cm → m_a = 5 cm. Keep every input in one unit system and the result follows in length units (m, ft, cm); full precision is kept until the final rounding. Angles in radians pair with s = rθ; convert degrees with × π/180.
