Question

If the hypotenuse of a right triangle of area A has length, find the length of the
altitude on the hypotenuse.​

Answer 1

Answer:

hypotenuse equals to the square of its adjacent side

Step-by-step explanation:

so altitude will be equal to hypotenuse square- other altitude square

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the triangle be PQR, right angle at Q.

and PR be hypotenuse.

now,

let PQ=a and QR=b

then, by pythogoras theoram

PR=sqrt of (a^2 +b^2)

Acc. To Ques.

area of triangle PQR IS A

THEN,

A=1/2*PR(hypotenuse)*altitude.

therefore,

2A/sqrt of (a^2 +b^2) = altitude.
