Answer:

Construct MO, where O is the midpoint of CG. (As shown in the attached figure)

(1) LM = MG //given, CM is the median to the hypotenuse

(2) CO = OG // construction

(3) MO is a mid-segment //(1), (2) , Definition of a mid-segment

(4) MO // LC //triangle mid-segment theorem

(5) ∠MOG ≅ ∠LCO // corresponding angles in two parallel lines intersected by a transversal line (CG)

(6) m∠LCO=90° //given, ΔLCG is a right triangle

(7) m∠MOG=90° //(5), (6), definition of congruent angles

(8) m∠MOC=180° – 90° = 90° // linear pair

(9) ∠MOG ≅ ∠MOC //(7),(8), definition of congruent angles

(10) MO=MO //common side, reflexive property of equality

(11) ΔMCO ≅ ΔMGO //(2), (9), (10) Side-Angle-Side postulate

(12) MC = MG // Corresponding sides in congruent triangles (CPCTC)

(13) MG= ½LG // Given, CM is the median to the hypotenuse

(15) MC = ½LG //(12) , (13), substitution
