9. 3 Similarity in Right Triangles EQ: How are altitudes and geometric mean of a right triangle related?

Similarity in Right Triangles The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides

Similarity in Right Triangles The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle divides the triangles into two triangles that are similar to the original triangle and to each other.

Geometric Mean: The number x such that are positive numbers , where a, b,

Geometric Mean: The number x such that are positive numbers , where a, b, and x The geometric mean, in mathematics, is a type of mean or average, which indicates the central tendency or typical value of a set of numbers. Find the geometric mean of 3 and 27. Note: Find the geometric mean of 4 and 18.
