Answer 1

@Directrix

Answer 2

There is a theorem for this:

Theorem: If an altitude is drawn to the hypotenuse of a right triangle, either leg of the triangle is the geometric mean between the length of the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse adjacent to that leg.

Answer 3

The question talks about leg b.

So, focus on this part of the theorem:

between****** the length of the hypotenuse***** and the****** segment of the hypotenuse**** adjacent to that leg.***

Answer 4

The segment of the hypotenuse adjacent to leg b is x.
Think of it as the shadow of b.

Answer 5

I am not understanding it very clearly.

Answer 6

Ok.

Answer 7

Hypotenuse refers to the hypotenuse of the large triangle which is c.

Answer 8

Just like Y to A.

Answer 9

I mean A to Y
