Relation between the altitude to the hypotenuse and the legs of a right triangle
Description
Right triangle or right-angled triangle is a triangle in which one angle is a right angle (that is, a 90-degree angle). Altitude of a triangle is a line segment through a vertex and perpendicular to (i.e. forming a right angle with) a line containing the base (the opposite side of the triangle). For the right triangle there is a relation between the altitude to the hypotenuse and the legs of a right triangle.
