Legs Of A Right Triangle (when An Altitude Is Drawn) Вђ“ Azmath Page

When an altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, it creates similar triangles and establishes the Altitude and Leg Rules of the Geometric Mean Theorems. These rules show that the altitude is the geometric mean of the hypotenuse segments, while each leg is the geometric mean of the total hypotenuse and its adjacent segment. For a comprehensive guide, see Legs of a Right Triangle (when an altitude is drawn) .
