2. Why is the ? in the proportion below equal to QR?
QT SQ
?
SQ
O QR is the hypotenuse and is opposite the angle S in the right triangle QSR.
O SQ is the shortest leg and so is the geometric mean between the entire leg and the hypotenuse QR.
O SQ is the geometric mean between the hypotenuse and the closest adjacent segment of the hypotenuse.
O QR is the hypotenuse and thus the Hypotenuse Rule of Geometric Means applies.
