Geometric Mean Theorems: (Altitude rule)

In right triangle if the altitude drawn 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.

segmentaltitude=altitudesegment

The length of each leg is the geometric mean of the lengths of the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse that is adjacent to the leg.
