9.3 Altitude-on-Hypotenuse Theorems

9.3 Altitude-on-Hypotenuse Theorems. If an altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then it forms similar triangles. x. y. h. The square of the altitude is equal to the product of the two pieces of the hypotenuse. x. h 2 = xy. y. h. Example 1. Given: BD = 6, AB = 9
