Question

SU is the altitude to the hypotenuse RT. What is the length of ST?

Answer 1

@phi

Answer 2

do you know the these of altitude from the right angle on hypothenuse ?

Answer 3

no..

Answer 4

@jhonyy9 i'm not sure what you're asking.

Answer 5

in case of your exercise if you us this these of altitude will get

altitude squared equal SR time ST

so from this you will can calculi easy the ST

yes ?

Answer 6

@jhonyy9 ok how do you calculate that?

Answer 7

so you have not learned from the these of altitude inside a right triangle from the right angle on hypothenuse ?

exactly how is in case of your exersice

Answer 8

check it in your mathbooke or on wikipedia

Answer 9

@Zale101

Answer 10

@jhonyy9 do you know how to solve this?

Answer 11

RS is equal ST ?

Answer 12

yes

Answer 13

ok

than using the these of altitude you can writing US^2 =RS *ST

note RS =x and becasue RS =ST so than you can writing ST=x too

than you can writing

US^2 = x*x = x^2

4^2 = x^2

so what mean x = ?

Answer 14

4? @jhonyy9

Answer 15

yes sure

hope so much that now is understandably sure right for you

yes ?

Answer 16

yw

good luck
