| Let us determine, by the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the hypotenuse AB.
AB ^ 2 = AB ^ 2 + BC ^ 2 = 16 + 48 = 64.
AB = 8 cm.
Since CM is the median drawn from the vertex of the right angle to the hypotenuse, its length is equal to half the length of the hypotenuse.
CM = BM = AM = AB / 2 = 8/2 = 4 cm.
Then, in the ACM triangle, the lengths of all sides are equal, AC = AM = CM = 4 cm, the triangle is equilateral, and all its internal angles are 60.
Then the angle ВСМ = 90 – 60 = 30.
Answer: The BCM angle is 30.
