Q
Geometric Mean
A
x of a and b such that
x2 = ab
2
Q
Alt-On-Hyp
A
The altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the segments that the hypotenuse is divided into by the alititude
3
Q
Leg-Alt-On-Hyp
A
If we draw an altitude to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then each leg is the geometric mean of the hypotenuse and the adjacent segment of the hypotenuse
