Theorem 8.16 – If the altitude is Theorem 8.16 – If the altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, then the measure of the triangle, then the measure of the altitude is the geometric mean altitude is the geometric mean between the measures of the parts between the measures of the parts of the hypotenuse.of the hypotenuse.
