To solve the problem of finding the area of a right-angled triangle given the lengths of the medians through the acute angles, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the triangle and medians Let triangle ABC be a right-angled triangle with the right angle at B. The lengths of the medians through the acute angles A and C are given as AD = 3 and CE = 4, where D and E are the midpoints of sides BC and AB, respectively. ### Step 2: Apply Apollonius's Theorem Apollonius's theorem states that for any triangle ABC with a median AD from vertex A to side BC: \[ AB^2 + AC^2 = 2AD^2 + 2BD^2 \] ...
