Geometric Mean Theorem IGeometric Mean Theorem I
Geometric Mean (Altitude) Geometric Mean (Altitude) TheoremTheorem
In a right triangle, the altitude from the right angle to the hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse into two segments.
The length of the altitude is the geometric mean of the lengths of the two segments.
