13. Parts of a right triangle incorporated with the altitude C Leg adjacent to DB Leg adjacent to AD A B D Segments of the hypotenuse AD and DB
14. Right Triangle Similarity Theorem The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the triangle into two triangles that are similar to the original triangle and to each other. C A B D ABC ~ ACD ~ CBD
15. Geometric Mean-Altitude Theorem 1 The length of the altitude to the hypotenuse is the geometric mean of the lengths of the segments of the hypotenuse. C A B D 𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐃=𝐂𝐃𝐃𝐁 𝐂𝐃=𝐀𝐃×𝐃𝐁
16. Geometric Mean-Altitude Theorem 2 The altitude to the hypotenuse to a right triangle intersects it to that the length of each leg us the geometric mean of the length of its adjacent segment of the hypotenuse and the length of the entire hypotenuse BACB=CBBD ABCA=CAAD 𝐂𝐁=𝐁𝐃×𝐁𝐀 𝐂𝐀=𝐀𝐃×𝐀𝐁
18. Solve for the other missing lengths given only two measurements. a = 4, b = 6 a = 8, c = 10 a = 5, m = 7 a = 9, n = 6 a = 12, h = 9 b = 6, c = 15 b = 8, m = 9 b = 4, n = 3 b = 11, h = 8 c = 18, m = 12 c = 15, n = 8 c = 20, h = 6 m = 12, n = 8 m = 9, h = 12 n = 10, h = 12
19. Solve for the other missing lengths given only two measurements. a = 4, b = 6 a = 8, c = 10 a = 5, c = 8 a = 9, m = 6 a = 12, h = 9 b = 6, c = 15 b = 12, n = 9 b = 4, n = 3 b = 10, h = 6 b = 11, h = 8 c = 18, m = 12 c = 15, n = 8 c = 20, m = 6 m = 12, n = 8 m = 9, h = 12 n = 10, h = 12 a = 9, m = 6 c = 18, m = 12
20. Relating to the Real WorldRecreation At the parking lot of a State Park, the 300-m path to the snack bar and the 400-m path to the boat rental shop meet at a right angle. Marla walks straight from the parking lot to the ocean. How far is Marla from the snack bar? WHICH IS STRONGER? TRIANGLE OR QUADRILATERAL?
