Answer 1

MEDAL AND FAN

Answer 2

how does that help ive been looking at that my other screen for the last ten minutes

Answer 3

Please check if there's an typo in your question...(What you've typed)

Answer 4

It should be \(PH^2+HT^2=PT^2\) right?

Answer 5

yea

Answer 6

So we have to answer the question why is \(\sf\frac{HT}{PT}=\frac{YT}{HT}\)ok?

Answer 7

yep

Answer 8

In the earlier step it has been proven that \(\sf\Delta PHT \text{ is similar to } \Delta HYT\). What are they, triangles or angles?

Answer 9

triangles

Answer 10

Very well. are they similar or congruent?
