Right Triangle Similarity Theorem

Given a right triangle and the altitude to the hypotenuse.

Altitude Rule:
The altitude is the geometric mean between the segments into which
it divides the hypotenuse.

=
h y

h =xy
h=√ xy

Leg Rule:
Each leg of the right triangle is the geometric mean between
the hypotenuse and its projection on the hypotenuse.

Pythagorean Theorem
The Pythagorean Theorem: In a right triangle, the square of the
length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the
lengths of its legs.

Pythagorean Theorem: c 2=a2+ b2, where:

 c=¿ the length of the hypotenuse,
a=¿ the length of the shorter leg, and
b=¿ the length of the longer leg.

Pythagorean Theorem: c 2=a2+ b2,
