Answer:
AB = 2√106 ≈ 20.591
Step-by-step explanation:
The Pythagorean theorem says the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the legs.
For median AM, we have ...
AM² = CM² +AC² = (BC/2)² +AC²
For median BN, we have ...
BN² = CN² +BC² = (AC/2)² +BC²
The sum of these two equations is ...
AM² +BN² = BC²/4 +AC² +AC²/4 +BC² = (5/4)(AC² +BC²)
AM² +BN² = (5/4)(AB²)
The hypotenuse of triangle ABC is then ...
AB = √(4/5(AM² +BN²))
AB = 2√((19² +13²)/5)
AB = 2√106 ≈ 20.591
