In geometry, the median of the triangle is a line segment that connects between the vertex in the triangle and the midpoint of the side opposite to this vertex.
So, the median is mainly the bisector of a side.
Based on this, since PM is the median of the side NO, then M is the midpoint of NO and the measure of the side MN is half that of NO
